Temperatures are set to plummet across the UK with Met Office weather warnings in place for much of the country. Such is the torrent of bad weather Southeastern railine has advised passengers not to travel tomorrow. Six routes will be closed tomorrow and will not have replacement buses the operator has confirmed.
A statement said: “It is likely that these roots will also be closed on Monday and a final decision will be taken on this by midday on Sunday.
“Disruption on other routes on Monday is possible and we strongly advise that you check before you travel.
"If you have a ticket dated for travel on Sunday you'll be able to use this on a another day on our network next week at no additional cost."
Speaking to The Sun Online Met Officer meteorologist Sarah Kent warned: “Over the Kent Downs we could see as much as 30cm of snow tomorrow.
"It could be really nasty as we've got strong easterly winds which will cause significant drifting."
Eastern Scotland, the north-east, the midlands and parts of southern England are covered by Met Office warnings for snow and ice.
The forecaster warns there is a “small chance” of travel disruption, potentially including “some stranded vehicles and passengers”, and of power cuts.
A separate Met Office warning just for snow is in force for East Anglia and South East England.

Cold air being blasted in from Russia will cause temperatures to plummet on Sunday and continue well into next week.
Speaking to The Sun Ms Kent said: “With winds gradually easing we will see temperatures drop on Monday and Tuesday morning.
“As the winds fade we could see temperatures could fall below -10C in sheltered glens in Scotland, particularly in the northern and Central Belt.”
South and central England should expect temperatures to remain below freezing for much of next week falling to a low of -3C on Tuesday morning.
Temperatures are expected to start rising again from Friday next week.
Online the coming storm has already been nicknamed the ‘Beast from the East Two” following the original ‘Beast from the East’ in late February and early March 2018.
Paul Gundersen, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, stated: “The UK is in for a notably cold and snowy period over the next week, with very cold air in place over the whole of the UK by Sunday.
“Showers will see snow accumulating across eastern areas. Within the amber warning area, more widespread snow is expected and we could see 5-10 cm of snow quite widely, with a chance that a few places could see 20cm or more.”
