UK air passengers are facing further disruption from a volcanic ash cloud that has affected European flights.
Most of northern Italy's airports are closed until at least midday, and France, Switzerland, and northern Portugal have also been affected.

Six airports in the north of Scotland have closed. Flights from the UK to Spain, France, Switzerland and Portugal have been grounded.

We had a fine, bright yellow powder dusted over our car last night:

This was shot with super-macro, so the grains are a lot smaller than they appear here. For scale, the diagonal line running across the picture is a dried-up raindrop, and is about 1cm wide.

Safety rules governing flights in UK and Irish airspace have been eased following the Iceland volcano, the Civil Aviation Authority has announced.
It said it had cleared the way for more flights by lifting the 60-mile no-fly buffer zone imposed around dense ash.

hurray!

We're still getting a slow but constant dusting with bright yellow ash. The car is filthy. :(

My car had a sandy coloured layer of dust on it last week, the annoying thing was it was washed at the weekend and not used since i get the bus to work.

Huge swathe of Europe grounded by Iceland volcano ash as Eurostar and ferries see passenger numbers soar

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...assengers.html ... and now to add to traverles misery apparently Eurostar services have been suspended

Disruption due to broken down train.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/public/eurostar.shtml

Well it doesn't look like our friends will be getting home from their holidays to-day as hoped. Their plane had been cancelled twice before they decided to travel up to Paris to get the train, managed to get tickets yesterday morning on this mornings train and now this has been cancelled with no information on when services will be resumed. :(

Add .. just seen the BBC news and apparently the suspension is by the Tunnel operators and due to a CO2 sensor reading in the tunnels.

Re: Airports closed as volcanic ash drifts toward UK

The reading triggered a fire alarm, but it was a false positive. Still, better safe than sorry ...

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 13:08.
