The snow is causing some travel disruption

Train services between Bradford Interchange and Huddersfield via Brighouse are being cancelled until at least noon, with disruption expected until 2pm.

Northern says the cancellations are “due to forecasted severe weather”.

Passengers can travel between Huddersfield and Bradford Interchange by changing at Leeds or alternate services are available between Halifax and Bradford Interchange.

And on the buses, Metro says the 579 is unable to service Rooley Heights due to untreated road surface and is terminating at Church Stile.
