The M5 has seen a number of crashes this evening, with teams from National Highways saying most routes are being cleared, and traffic is easing.

If you want to travel on any last-minute trains tonight, the message from Great Western Railway is that a number of services, too, have already been cancelled.

Flight operations at Bristol Airport have been 'suspended' - so if you're wanting to travel - the first message is to check with your airline.

A spokesperson from Bristol Airport told us: "The Bristol Airport team are working hard on snow clearing but challenging weather means that flight operations have been suspended until later tonight.

"This will mainly impact inbound flights but any concerned customers are advised to contact their airline for more information."
