Large snowfalls in South and West Yorkshire

Some parts of South and West Yorkshire have had it bad. This from PA:

There was an official record of 14cm at Bingley in West Yorkshire but a Met Office spokesman said that anecdotally they have heard of observations higher than this in Leeds and Sheffield.

National Highways North-West estimated at one point congestion on the eastbound carriageway between Rochdale and Saddleworth stretched to around eight miles.

And for long suffering train passengers, this may bring a grim smile and a thought: “So what’s new?”:

Train operators TransPennine Express and Northern are among train operators impacted with many services cancelled.
