Snow update - midday Sunday 5 February
05/02/2012Across the country as at midday, well over 90% of trains are operating, with more than four out of five getting in on time.
An ATOC spokesperson said:
"The rail network remains open today and across the country is running a good service with a sizeable majority of trains continuing to run on time. However, there has been some disruption where heavy snow has fallen and we apologise to anyone who has had trouble getting to where they want to go.
"Train companies and Network Rail will continue to work round the clock to keep tracks and points clear of snow and ice to minimise any disruption for passengers as far as possible."
Where there has been snow, passengers should contact National Rail Enquiries. As well as going to www.nationalrail.co.uk there are a number of ways to get in touch:
