Train operators have warned of train disruption because of the aftermath of Storm Eunice, leading to potential delays and cancellations for passengers.

A rail service worker at Sheffield station, has said: “The storm has really impacted my job as it is causing me constant stress with the number of delays and cancellations.

“At the end of the day, this is my job and I understand the customers concerns and doing the best I can to issue these refunds.”

Sheffield has received a yellow weather warning as forecasting suggests that the city will be expecting up to 55-60mph winds during this week.

Passengers who are planning a train journey from Sheffield station to enter Scotland are expected to receive cancellations due to further risks of debris landing on the train tracks.

Sheffield station have increased the amount of trainline workers on sight to respond to issues quickly, as there is expected to be heavy rain heading to South Yorkshire, causing more disruption for the railway.
