Thousands of Brits have been hit with traffic chaos after 48-hour rail strikes and freezing weather conditions caused mayhem on the roads.
Members of the RMT Union are staging another round of strikes this week after a number of disputes over pay and conditios for workers.
Workers were offered a five per cent pay rise for this year — backdated to January — with another four per cent at the start of 2023 and a guarantee of no compulsory job losses until January 2025.
But they rejected the offer from employer Network Rail, unlike members of the Unite and TSSA unions, and a 48-hour strike began on Friday.
And weather conditions across the country is adding to the chaos on the roads, as road users are being warned of expected delays this morning after a cold night saw temperatures plummet.
The UK has seen a cold blast this week with snow and ice caused by air moving south from the Arctic.
Going into Saturday there are ice warnings much of Scotland, northern England and Wales. And a new warning has now been made for the south of England.
