IT BEGINS...
Well fellow travellers its that time of year when the snow starts to fall and our dreams of a white christmas become reality until it melts on christmas eve.
This is a travel update:
Stansted Airport's runway is currently OPEN but you need to check with your airline if your flight is running today. If your flight is not flying today CONTACT THE AIRLINE to re arrange your flight and DON'T LEAVE FOR THE AIRPORT. The last thing Stansted wants is more passengers at the airport when they don't need to be there.
Luton Airport's runway is also open but the same applies above. Check with your airline.
Train wise... this is taken from the National Rail website about current train disruptions. This is subject to change so before you travel check www.nationalrail.co.uk
