Earlier, hundreds of people were left stranded due to flooding and subsequent traffic gridlock in the area.

Now it appears things may be getting slightly better:

Hundreds of people have been left stranded in Meadowhall after flooding brought gridlock to surrounding roads, according to PA Media.

Thousands had headed to the shopping centre, just off the M1 near Sheffield, on Thursday afternoon for the annual Christmas Live event which was due to feature acts including Ella Henderson, Tom Zanetti and Jonas Blue.

But the show was called off at the last minute as torrential rain saw levels on the nearby River Don rise dramatically and several routes around the complex affected by flooding.

On Thursday evening, police announced the area was completely gridlocked and began to turn trapped motorists back into the centre's massive car parks.

South Yorkshire Police's Operational Support Unit then advised everyone in the centre not to leave:

As well as problems on the roads, there are also a number of service changes/disruptions to the railways due the rainfall.

Train operator Northern is advising customers not to travel

Services are currently unable to run between Sheffield and Gainsborough Central/Lincoln Central.

Northern says it's currently unable to provide road transport as roads in the area are also flooded.

Trains will not call at Rotherham Central due to flooding but a bus replacement service is in place.

All lines between Barnsley and Huddersfield are closed due to flooding at Denby Dale.

There is also a broken down train between Huddersfield and Stalybridge
