Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
Aberdeen trains cancelled
Trains between Dundee and Aberdeen have been cancelled after a gas leak was detected near the tracks in Carnoustie.
Scottish Gas Network (SGN) said engineers were working on repairs following "third party damage".
The railway around Carnoustie station and the road at Taymouth Street are expected to be closed until noon today.
The BBC says Carnoustie Leisure Centre and two homes within a 164ft exclusion zone have been evacuated.
Replacement bus services have been put in place for passengers travelling between Aberdeen and Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street and between Arbroath and Dundee.
UK house prices down again
House prices in the UK fell for the fifth month in a row in January, according to Nationwide Building Society.
The price of the average property last month was £258,297 – a slip of 0.6% on December.
Annual house price growth slowed to 1.1%, down from 2.8% in December.
The country's biggest building society said it would be "hard for the market to regain much momentum in the near term".
Robert Gardner, chief economist at Nationwide, said "economic headwinds are set to remain strong", as rising prices continue eating into household budgets.
He added that the affordability of mortgages would "remain challenging" in the short term due to higher interest rates, while saving for a deposit was "proving a struggle for many given the rising cost of living".
On Tuesday, the Bank of England reported lenders had approved fewer mortgages than expected in December - about 35,000 compared with more than 46,000 in November.
The BBC says that is the lowest number since January 2009, excluding the pandemic lockdowns.
