Stagecoach South has reinstated some of the services in Andover after snowfall caused traffic disruptions in the area.

They said Town services 1 and 6 are now running. Servie 76 will start from Basingstoke at 11.40am and from Andover at 11.50am.

Activ8 service will start at 11.30am, but this route will omit Zouch in Tidworth.

Meanwhile Thames Valley police have advised drivers to be cautious on the road.

"Driving conditions are extremely difficult in places. Please take care if you are on the roads, drive to the conditions and remember to stay at home unless travel is absolutely essential."

Hampshire fire and rescue service has issued the following cautions:

"Our advice would be not to travel in heavy rain storms unless absolutely necessary, but if you do have to travel, consider the following:

  • spray on road surfaces can decrease visibility, so reduce driving speeds and allow additional time to stop safely on wet roads
  • increase your distance from the vehicle in front to improve your ability to see and plan ahead
  • use headlights as rain and spray from vehicles may make it difficult to see and be seen
  • if steering becomes unresponsive, it probably means that water is preventing the tyres from gripping the road - ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually
  • test your brakes at the first safe opportunity if you have driven through deep water as they may be less effective; if they are not fully effective, gently apply light pressure while driving slowly, this will help to dry them out."
