Travel warnings have been issued for icy conditions on roads and pavements - as well as ongoing disruption on the railways.

Travel will also be impacted by a new round of rail strikes from Tuesday.

Ice is likely to form widely on untreated roads and pavements, and further sleet or snow showers are possible overnight in The West .
Flood warnings have now been lifted but the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has advised people to steer clear of receding flood water in southern and central Scotland.
At one point on Friday, Sepa had 10 regional flood alerts in place, along with 29 local flood warnings and a severe flood warning for Dumfries.
The Environment watchdog said levels at The River Nith reached the highest ever recorded.
Following the blockage on The The West Coast Mainline near Carstairs on Friday, Network Rail said engineers were working to reinforce The Bank under The Track before they can repair The Line itself.

Meanwhile, further disruption can be expected due to ongoing industrial action, with Network Rail staff set to strike again on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Services will also be severely affected on Thursday due to The Challenges of restarting a timetable with just a few hours between strikes.

Train drivers in England will also walk out on Thursday, which could affect cross-border services.
