These are some of the areas where the bad weather has had the biggest impact:

:: NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE TO BERWICK-UPON-TWEED - Due to flooding and a landslip near Berwick, there are no trains running between Newcastle and Berwick. East Coast train company is not laying on any replacement bus service between the stations and the line is not expected to open until Saturday morning.

First TransPennine Express warned that journeys to and from Newcastle may be delayed by up to 60 minutes.
