It said power had been restored to 2,649 customers so far this morning, with the North Yorkshire region the worst affected.

Director of field operations Steve McDonald said: “Travel and access remains challenging but we’re doing everything we can to keep the power on for our customers.

"Our fleet of 4x4s and specialist access vehicles are playing an essential role in getting our teams to sites to carry out the necessary repairs.

“We expect the heavy snow fall to continue throughout today. Our teams will continue to update the customers currently affected.”

Northern trains between Leeds, Manchester, York, Sheffield, Doncaster and Bradford have all been cancelled.

The operator has advised passengers not to travel and said the "position will be reviewed throughout the day".

The M1 northbound at Junction 37 for Barnsley is blocked due to stranded vehicles, according to traffic monitoring company Inrix.
