In the face of ominous weather warnings from the Met Office, two major rail companies, Avanti West Coast and TransPennine Express, have strongly advised customers against traveling to and from Scotland today. Amber and yellow weather alerts for heavy rain loom large over the northern regions, contrasting sharply with the anticipation of rising temperatures up to 25C in southern and central England by Sunday afternoon.
Avanti West Coast has taken the precautionary measure of suspending all services north of Preston, causing significant delays across its network. TransPennine Express echoed the concerns, explicitly urging customers to refrain from traveling on any routes to Scotland due to the challenging weather conditions.
