Two London Underground lines are running with severe delays this morning.
Commuters taking the District or Piccadilly Tube lines should prepare themselves for a longer than usual journey to work.
The District line is reporting severe delays while engineers work to fix a faulty train at Upminster, while the Piccadilly is once again hampered by a shortage of trains due to ongoing repairs to damage caused by ‘leaf fall’.
On the railways, National Rail is warning travellers to check their journeys before setting off in light of the Met Office yellow warnings for snow and ice still in place.
The alert covers the Midlands, parts of North Wales, the North West of England, west and northern parts of Scotland as well as Northern Ireland remain in place until midday on Wednesday.
Some roads and railways are likely to be affected, and there could be icy patches on untreated roads, the forecaster said.
