  3. Travel disruption in Londonpublished at 20:02 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January 2017

    There are long delays on many major roads in London due to snowing, including queues in both directions on the M25.

    Several miles of queues have built up between junction 10 and junction six anti-clockwise on the M25, exacerbated by earlier flooding, while stuck vehicles have caused delays at junction eight clockwise.

    Train services to Heathrow have stopped due to a broken down train, while congestion in Croydon has led to delays across the entire London Tramlink network.
