Police are warning people not to travel unless it is absolutely necessary.

Norfolk police tweeted: “Stay home unless your journey is absolutely necessary so the roads are clearer for officers to reach those who need our assistance. If you have to leave your vehicle? Please ensure it’s left in a safe position and doesn’t cause any obstructions.”

Greater Anglia has said that while it will try to run normal services.

Passengers should keep up-to-date with service disruptions on the train operator’s website or Twitter page @greateranglia
