    In Cumbria, snow continued to make life difficult as it began to thaw, although the major incident declared in the area has ended.<\/p>\n

    Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said the risk of snow was lessening and would "more or less be confined to Scottish mountains" by the end of the week. Meanwhile, passengers on long-distance services were advised to avoid travelling by train as the flooding has affected rail services already hit by industrial action.<\/p>\n

    The RAC is also warning drivers to expect icy conditions today, saying it expects to see a rise in breakdowns as older and faulty vehicles "fail in the cold weather." CrossCountry Trains said heavy flooding was blocking lines between Edinburgh Waverley and Newcastle, with the strike action being a contributing factor.<\/p>\n

    Great Western Railway said flooding had caused significant disruption on Monday and advised people not to travel between Bristol and Exeter or any trip between London Paddington and Devon or Cornwall. Members of train drivers\u2019 union Aslef at C2C and Greater Anglia continue to strike until December 8. There is also an overtime ban lasting until December 9.<\/p>\n
