Network Rail engineers are checking lines in many parts of the country for damage and obstructions after Storm Goretti moved east last night, and some routes are expected to remain closed until tomorrow.

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.
