The M62 motorway remains closed between junction 20 (Rochdale) and 22 (Saddleworth) as highway authorities attempt to clear both snow and vehicles that have been abandoned or stranded.
As a result, Wolves have cancelled their club supporters coach and are offering refunds to fans who have bought tickets but cannot travel.

Highways England have said the M62 is likely to remain closed until this afternoon/evening.
#M62 closed eastbound J20-J22 + westbound J24-J22 due to ongoing work to clear snow and deal with many stranded vehicles. #A66, A628, and A69 main cross-country routes are closed also due to snow. The road is likely to remain closed until this afternoon/evening.
