Fog could limit visibility to just 100 metres with the worst forecast to descend on South East and central England. More UK travel chaos is expected on Saturday including more disruption to flights and the closure of two of the country’s busiest railway stations in London.
Thick fog has shrouded the country - wreaking havoc on festive travel plans as airports struggle to return to their normal flight schedules after Christmas. Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester, the UK’s three busiest airports, are among those affected by the bad weather.
Apologising for any inconvenience, a spokesperson for Gatwick Airport added: “Temporary air traffic restrictions have been put in place due to fog causing poor visibility. Some flights may be delayed throughout the day.”. In a double blow, the UK’s two busiest stations, London Liverpool Street and Paddington, are both closed due to engineering work on Saturday.
On the West Coast main line the electricity supply has failed between Watford Junction and Milton Keynes Central. National Rail said: “Trains may be cancelled, revised or delayed by up to 40 minutes. Disruption is expected to continue until 12 noon.”.
The UK’s two busiest stations, London Liverpool Street and Paddington, are both closed due to engineering work.
