The train companies have advised passengers against all but essential travel. However, Simon branded the warning as "nonsense" as he claimed thousands of trains are running, including services to Liverpool.
He said: "When the train companies say we advise all but essential travel. I would say that's absolute nonsense. There are thousands of trains running today. Yes, they are mostly on the main inter city lines. Mainly coming in and out of London.
"So if you want to go to Cardiff, Brighton, Southampton, Bristol, to Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow and Manchester. There are trains running."
