South West Trains, which was the worst affected rail operator on Saturday, says its services are now back to the regularly scheduled timetable.
A Met Office yellow alert of ice had already been issued for Sunday morning and a new one will be in force from midnight tonight until 12pm tomorrow.
It says: "Sub-zero overnight temperatures will lead to ice forming where snow has fallen or melted during Sunday or where fresh sleet or snow falls early on Monday.
"The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to travel during this spell of wintry weather."
