  4. Traffic and Travel: A good start on the roads and rails

    BBC Travel

    It's a good start to the working week as far as travel is concerned.

    The roads are running freely and there are no delays posted on the trains except for the 07:08 service to Newcastle which is running slightly late, as ever.

    And if you were hoping to travel on the 07:27 Reading via Doncaster service, you'll have to make alternative plans as that train has unfortunately been cancelled.

    Here's the live departure board at York Railway Station for you to keep a check on things.
