Train services in many parts of Britain are being reduced today, in preparation for the arrival of Storm Goretti. There are amber snow warnings affecting Wales, the Midlands, the South West and Yorkshire & Humber, while an amber wind warning has been issued for Cornwall, where all train services will be suspended from 18.00 this evening. Earlier heavy falls of snow are still causing problems for ScotRail passengers in parts of the Highlands.

Train services have returned to normal after Network Rail’s major programme of engineering work over the Christmas and New Year break. However, more bad weather is likely to cause disruption again from tomorrow, as Storm Goretti arrives. Scotland is still dealing with the effects of heavy snow, and some trains on lines in the Highlands are cancelled today. The Met Office has issued snow warnings affecting much of England and Wales from 18.00 tomorrow until midday on Friday, with rain, snow and high winds forecast.
