Several rail routes in Kent have been closed due to forecasts of heavy snow.

Rail operator Southeastern said routes through Dover, Maidstone, Medway and Tonbridge would be out of action on Sunday and Monday, as well as the line into Bromley.

The firm said replacement road transport would not be available.

In a tweet, published on Sunday, it said: "We strongly advise that you do not attempt to travel on our network today or tomorrow."

The Met Office put out an Amber weather warning for heavy snow across most of Kent and parts of East Sussex until midday on Monday.
