Heavy rain brought by Storm Franklin has led to severe flooding across South Yorkshire, with passengers strongly advised to check their journey before they travel - and on some routes not to travel at all.

After significant damage was caused to the network by Storms Dudley and Eunice last week, torrential rain throughout the weekend has seen flooding in Rotherham and Doncaster.

While Network Rail teams have spent the weekend monitoring water levels and attempting to clear water from the tracks, the following areas are impacted for the start of service today (Monday February 21).
