According to the Met Office, travel disruption for roads and rail and air travel remain likely in Northern Scotland and possible in most of the UK today.

Network Rail Scotland said that it managed to reopen the Aberdeen-Dundee line, which was closed yesterday, and hoped to reintroduce services for the Far North Line this morning.

But it also warned that conditions remained “challenging”.

Yesterday four Scottish routes were closed, including also the Inverness-Kyle and Inverness-Aberdeen lines.

Here’s what else travellers faced as many headed back to work and students returned to school after the festive break.

Roads

There was a 40% spike in AA callouts compared to a typical Monday, according to the AA, as yesterday was deemed the worst day of the year for vehicle breakdowns.

Rail

Train services in northern Scotland faced disruption and National Rail has warned that they will continue to do so until the end of today. 

Eurostar services between London and the Netherlands were disrupted as trains could not run beyond Brussels.

Air 

Flights were cancelled from Aberdeen and Inverness airports because of the heavy snowfall and the runway at Liverpool John Lennon Airport was closed in the morning and around midday.

Both City of Derry Airport and Belfast International Airport experienced a number of cancellations or delays.
