A number of people, including Tory MP Charlie Elphicke, have expressed their dismay with Southeastern after the company pulled all services between Ramsgate and Dover - despite there being no snow.

A statement on the Southeastern Twitter page said: "We're running a modified timetable tomorrow (Thursday 1 March) to enable us to provide a more reliable service.

"This will mean reduced services on some routes and some stations will be closed."

These routes include the line between Ramsgate and Dover but there is not a hint of snow on the tracks.

Several people took to Twitter to complain about the service including Dover's MP, Charlie Elphicke.

'Serious questions to answer'

Mr Elphicke said: "Rail users on the line between Dover & Ramsgate rightly angry about tomorrow's closure given lack of snow there.

"They pay a huge amount of money for tickets.

"Southeastern have serious questions to answer."

Dover College Head Teacher, Gareth Doodes, said he completely agreed with the MP as his pupils won't be able to get to the college.

Over 50 Southeastern stations have been closed today due to the adverse weather conditions.

The county's roads are not faring well either and there has already been a number of collisions due to the snow and ice.

The Met Office has also issued a further weather warning meaning the county is expected to get more snow and icy winds.
