Video shows whiteout conditions as train crosses Forth Bridge

ScotRail has released a video showing a train crossing the Forth Bridge in whiteout conditions.

Public transport has been dealing with challenging conditions across the country, as Storm Darcy causes heavy snowfall for most areas.

The operator released the video from one of its conductors as it went over the iconic crossing earlier today.

It shows low visibility as the area is hit with a blizzard.

Scotrail has also highlighted how snow can affect its trains:

❄️ Look at how much snow and ice is under this train. Up to three tonnes of it can gather beneath trains as they travel - and it takes hours to defrost. pic.twitter.com/jRevihWuCu

The Met Office has an amber warning in place for Fife for heavy snow until 9pm tonight.

The forecaster has also issued a yellow warning for snow and ice from Thursday morning until Friday lunchtime.
