With the issue still unresolved, the rail firm says services between Inverness and Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen are all subject to delays or cancellation despite currently being able to run.
A ScotRail spokeswoman said: “Our services are affected by ongoing issues with the signalling system in the Inverness area.
“Services between Glasgow Queen St – Inverness, Edinburgh – Inverness and Aberdeen – Inverness are currently running as scheduled, but may be subject to delays and cancellations.
“Due to a power supply issue at Network Rail’s signalling centre, and to allow for repair works to be carried out, the following ScotRail services will be cancelled today until further notice: Elgin – Inverness and Inverurie – Aberdeen.”
As many services are currently running as normal, travellers are advised to check their journeys online before travelling.
