After nearly a week of severe travel chaos in Britain, the transport network started to pull away from so many delays and cancellations on Wednesday. One thing working for them is that forecasters say the snow is really slowing down and there relatively won’t be any.
Heathrow Airport has been the worst affected by the weather and only operated about one-third of its services on Tuesday. However, about two-thirds of their services were operating yesterday. It will still take some time for the airport to get back to normal as they clear out their backlog.
Other airports seem to be coping with the weather better as well and should be close to operating as normal by tomorrow. It’s still best for passengers to check with their airport’s website for flight information, or contact the airline directly.
Rail services are doing better as well, with Eurostar operating about 90% of its services. There were some delays yesterday, however. National Rail said that 70% of their trains were running on time, which is an improvement, but they are still trying to get things back to normal. Despite this, Virgin Trains suffered many delays and cancellations, along with a few other train operators.
Roads are still suffering congestion and closures due to accidents. People are traveling, but it seems a few of them aren’t being smart about it and causing disruptions for everyone else on the road. If driving is essential, be sure to leave with plenty of extra time to get to the destination and remain on alert.
Travel disruptions across the rest of Europe looked to be easing yesterday as well. It seems that air and rail travel is beginning to return to normal, though it may take a couple days due to all the previous delays and cancellations.
