Description of Incident

The Met Office have issued yellow weather warnings for snow, ice, and rain that may affect services across England, Wales and Scotland. These are expected to be in place until 15:00 on Sunday 11 January.

Storm Goretti brought strong winds and snow on Thursday night. The main impact of the storm has now passed. However, rain and snow will continue across some parts of England and Wales until Sunday 11 January.

If you are planning to travel, you are strongly advised to check your full journey before you travel. This is a developing situation and alterations to services may be made at short notice.

Impact to service today and on Sunday 11 January will be reflected in the above links throughout the weekend.

Some ticket easements are in place to allow you to travel after the expected severe weather without amending your ticket. These can be found, where applicable, in the advice above for each operator.

Severe weather can 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

Stay safe on the rail network in these snowy and icy conditions. Don’t rush, hold the handrail on stairs and escalators, and use the lift if you’ve got heavy luggage, bikes or pushchairs.

Check before you travel:

Please check your whole journey using the National Rail Journey Planner before you set off. Please take note of any service updates that may be showing with a warning triangle on your journey.

Please note, a very small amount of alterations for today, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January may not yet be reflected in Journey Planners. You can visit the Status and Disruptions page for the most up to date information.

Compensation:

You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey.

Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim
