iStockTrains to Aberdeen from both Edinburgh and Glasgow have been cancelled due to a “police incident” on the line.
Bus replacement services have been introduced to cover routes between Waverley and Queen Street and the Granite City due to the issue between Arbroath and Montrose.
A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed they were supporting British Transport Police in the operation.
