Rail commuters and motorists across the country are facing a difficult and potentially dangerous day after heavy rain and strong winds led to roads and train lines becoming blocked. Southern Rail’s union members have also walked out for 48 hours causing delays to commuters.
By first light on Tuesday the Environment Agency had 75 flood warnings in place, meaning that flooding is expected and people should take immediate action. While most were centred on the south-west of England on Monday, householders in the Midlands, north-east, north-west, Wales and the east of England have all been told to be on guard. There were a further 207 flood alerts (flooding is possible) in place.
Rail services in the south-west and northern England were badly hit by the aftermath of Storm Angus at the weekend and Monday’s torrential rain.
