Gatwick Re-Opens This Morning

All UK airports are open this morning after the snow eased yesterday allowing the likes of Gatwick and Edinburgh airport to open this morning. Staff worked through the night to clear the snow from the runways and taxi ranks at Gatwick allowing it to open.

However travellers have been warned it will take 2-3 days to clear the backlog from the previous 2 days of closure. Heathrow airport which has stayed open throughout also warned its customers of potential delays.

Overnight temperatures saw Aberdeen drop to -20°C while London and the midlands was still a chilly -7°C. Train services across the county continued to be hampered by the treacherous conditions with Euro Star announcing reduced services and Southern rail firms cancelling its service.

Police are still advising motorists not to travel unless absolutely necessary.
