Train operators including LNER, Transpennine Express and Hull Trains are urging people not to travel today - after services have been withdrawn due to safety concerns.

Great Western - which runs in the south and south west of England - reported cracks on some of their rolling stock.

It's led to other operators with the same Class 800 model of train following suit.

Passengers are being urged to avoid travelling if possible.
