Travel Chaos In The Wake Of Storms Friday January 19, 07:12 AM     

Britain's stormy weather may have eased but the travel chaos caused by the fierce winds has not, with widespread disruption across the entire rail network. As the authorities clear affected roads, at least 10 people were killed as the storms with gusts reported of up to 99mph swept across Britain, causing major structural damage.

They included a two-year-old boy who died in London when a brick wall collapsed on him as he was walking with a child minder.

Trains are affected by speed restrictions which inevitably means longer journey times.

Of the main operators, GNER has a much-reduced service on the East Coast main line between London King's Cross, Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Virgin Trains is operating a severely limited service between London Euston to Manchester and Glasgow.

Long delays are also expected on First Great Western services.

South West Trains say they expect early services to be cancelled as fallen trees continue to block lines.

After a difficult day during the storms, airports were reporting they were largely back to normal.

Power companies are working to restore supplies to more than 30,000 homes in the northeast of England, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire which were cut off when power lines crashed down.

Within just one half-hour period on Thursday afternoon, drivers on nine different motorways faced closures and blockages.

The Channel Tunnel high-speed train company Eurostar, cancelled all services due to extreme weather conditions in northern France.

Snow Hits Britain As Freeze Sets In Wednesday January 24

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for parts of England and Scotland following the overnight snow.

Motorists are being urged to take extra care during the rush hour as clearing skies may lead to icy patches on untreated roads.

The severe weather warnings are in place for the East coast of England, London and central and southern areas, as well as the Midlands and the Grampain region of Scotland.

MeteoGroup UK forecaster Tony Conlan said: "We have had a bit of snow moving south through England and Wales overnight but it has not been snow everywhere - in some areas it has been rain such as the west coast.

"There has been a centimetre or two of snow in places."

Mr Conlan said the snow showers should have headed south, out into the Channel, by mid-morning.

He added: "There will be further wintry showers over, mainly, parts of eastern England but nowhere is expecting much in the way of an accumulation of snow because the air is not really quite cold enough.

"It is going to rain, sleet and wet snow generally. There might be a slight accumulation of snow over the North Yorkshire moors but elsewhere it is not going to be cold enough for the snow to settle."
