The fog has cleared and things are ‘returning to normal’ says Gatwick Airport.

Though if you’re one of the hundreds of passengers affected by the 200 or so flights set to leave today but cancelled in advance it might not feel like that.

The airport said the flights were axed to avoid ‘last-minute cancellations’.

You can read the full story above.

A track fault at Liverpool Central means trains running through the station may be cancelled or delayed.

Trains could also be terminated at and started back from James Street, says National Rail.

Disruption is expected until around noon.

Strike action will affect Avanti West Coast train services on New Year’s Eve and January 2.

On both dates, there will be a reduced timetable, with the first train of the day departing London Euston around 8am and the last train of the day from the same station leaving before 5pm.

North Wales, Blackpool and Edinburgh will have no Avanti West Coast services.

On December 31 only, there will be no Avanti West Coast trains to or from Macclesfield and on January 2 only, there is no Avanti West Coast service to or from Warrington Bank Quay or Wigan North Western.

There will also be strike action on all Sundays January 12 to May 25. Check on Avanti’s website for updated timetables.

With fog causing disruption for the fourth day in a row at Gatwick Airport, passengers are growing increasingly frustrated.

Several have posted on X, angry at the lack of communication from airlines.

One person wrote: ‘@vueling a whole day waisted at Gatwickairport today as our flight was delayed and we were told to queue for information that took over 5 hours. No communication while queuing only to be told the flight had left once we reached the front of the queue. 1000’s of passengers left.’

Another posted: ‘@easyJet after being told no easyjet flights would take off from Gatwick last night and being left to somehow find accommodation and transport with no other help than being told to “go that way to leave the airport” and an app that crashed…I saw loads of planes were taking off.’

A third said: ‘ANOTHER cancelled flight @IOMAirport @Gatwick_Airport @easyJet so we’re here another day. Fantastic. Brilliant. Thanks for the literal non existent help and crashing apps. We appreciate it.’

Major engineering works on rail lines are taking place over the New Year period that could affect your train journey.

National Rail says the following areas are affected, with work having started on Friday.

There will also be improvement work at numerous other locations, said National Rail, including the start of long term work in the Westbury area. 

If you’re travelling over the next few days it’s worth checking if your train is running as normal.

For anyone that might have missed this, the Stansted Express won’t be stopping at Liverpool Street Station until January 2.

Instead, services for Stansted Airport will start and terminate at Tottenham Hale.

This is due to development work taking place at Liverpool Street Station.

Stansted Express tickets will be accepted on London Underground lines travelling between Liverpool Street and Tottenham Hale as well as on the Central Line between Stratford and Liverpool Street.

More than 20 flights due to leave Gatwick Airport today were cancelled in advance due to fog.

Passengers are also being warned of delays throughout the day, on what is now the fourth day of disruptions.

A Gatwick spokesperson said: “Temporary air traffic restrictions have been put in place due to fog causing poor visibility.

‘Some flights may be delayed throughout the day.

‘London Gatwick apologises for any inconvenience.

‘Passengers should contact their airline for further information.”

‘Passengers on flights delayed by more than two hours may be entitled to assistance, including food and drink or overnight accommodation if necessary.’

Two London Overground routes have been struck by the unholy trinity of the travel world.

There are ‘severe delays’ on the Windrush line ‘due to an earlier faulty train at Surrey Quays’, TfL says.

Over on the Weaver Line, there are no trains at all between Liverpool Street and London Fields until Thursday.

There is reduced service as well on London Fields and Cheshunt / Chingford / Enfield Town.

A raft of yellow weather warnings are in place today as Britain is set to be battered by ‘blizzard conditions’.

The Met Office issues yellow warnings when the weather is ‘likely’ to cause disruption.

At least two will be in place every day until Thursday – including over New Year’s. You can read more about them here.

From now until January 5, most TfL services are running without a hitch.

But New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day will be slightly different. After all, countless revellers will be flooding the capital to see the fireworks.

Some TfL services, including the Tube, will run all night. Though, travel officials say they can’t offer free travel on NYE.

On NYD, the network will largely run as if it were your typical Sunday.

Gatwick hasn’t been able to catch a break these last few days.

The airport was smothered in fog yesterday, leading to delays, cancellations and air traffic restrictions.

While the weather has cleared up, Gatwick’s travel woes are continuing this morning, according to the airport’s departure boards. More than a dozen flights have been disrupted.

Some flights have been delayed by more than an hour, such as the 5.55am to Geneva, which will now take off at 10.40am.

But the hold-ups, while ‘significant’, are ‘decreasing’ now, monitoring service FlightStatus shows.

As a first step, passengers should contact their airlines for the latest information and check your airline’s flight tracker.

There are limits to when passengers of delayed flights are entitled to assistance.

Here is a breakdown of how much a flight must be delayed before you’re entitled to assistance.

• For flights under 932 miles (1,500km), such as from Glasgow to Amsterdam, the length of time is at least two hours
• For flights ranging from 932 miles (1,500km) to 2,175 miles (3,500km) – such as from Manchester to Marrakesh – the time limit is at least three hours delay
• For long-haul flights of more than 2,175 miles (3,500km) – such as Heathrow to New York – the delay has to be at least four hours before your right to assistance kicks in

Assistance typically includes some food and drink, often provided as a voucher, a means for you to communicate, and accommodation and transfers if an overnight stay is required.
