  • Heavy snow and high winds moving into western, north-western and central parts of England and Wales this afternoon means disruption to trains in some parts of the national network.

  • Disruption will continue overnight and into Friday, including changes to services on the West Coast Main Line and potential line closures elsewhere.

Passengers planning to travel are strongly advised to check their full journeys as this is a developing situation and alterations to services may be made at short notice.
