Birmingham Airport temporarily suspended operations for several hours late into the night to facilitate snow clearance before resuming services on Sunday, citing the dedication of resilient staff who worked tirelessly through the night, as reported on X. Meanwhile, Bristol Airport in western England faced challenging weather conditions, prompting a temporary closure on Saturday, with a subsequent reopening later that evening. The airport cautioned that the previous closure might lead to disruptions in departing flights on Sunday.
Severe weather conditions also impacted train services across England, Scotland, and Wales, as confirmed by the National Rail of the United Kingdom on Sunday morning. In response to ice and snow, speed restrictions and line closures were enforced to ensure the safe operation of trains on the railway network, the railway authority stated in a service disruption advisory.
National Highways, the government-backed entity responsible for managing major roads in England, issued a nationwide severe weather warning for snowfall across the country throughout the weekend. Road users were urged to exercise caution while traveling during this period of inclement weather, the agency emphasized.
