Various routes in England, Scotland and Wales

Description

The Met Office have issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice covering large parts of England, Scotland and Wales through until Monday 16 February.

Please check your entire journey before you travel on any of the affected days.

A visual disruption map video is now available.

The forecast poor weather may cause trains to be disrupted:

• In very cold weather, snow and ice can build up on the tracks blocking points, the equipment that allows trains to move between tracks

• Ice can coat the electrified third rail and overhead power cables, preventing trains from drawing the power they need to run and leaving them stranded

• Icicles on tunnels, bridges and other structures can also damage trains and overhead power cables

• In very snowy weather where snow lies deeper than 30cm, trains can’t run safely unless they have been fitted with snow ploughs

Any weather related disruptions will be posted here once any information is received.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
