Travel South Yorkshire, which coordinates public transport services, said: "If you are planning to travel today, please only make necessary journeys.

"The operators are working hard, and there are many services still running - but we cannot say what will happen later on and we wouldn't want you to get stuck. Keep warm, and keep safe."

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue has also issued a warning today because of the snow and ice on the roads.

A spokesman said: "We're still here to keep you safe, but help to keep us available for those most in need by taking extra care on the roads and ideally only travelling if absolutely necessary."
