Extreme rainfall and flooding is forecast for Scotland and northern parts of England - as train companies urge passengers not to travel on some routes.

While a yellow weather alert, warning of 'heavy and persistent rain' is in place for much of Scotland until 6am on Sunday. The Met Office said the yellow warning had been extended further southwest on Saturday. It comes as authorities in Scotland issued fresh flood warnings ahead of the 'major rainfall event'.
