Major UK stations plunged into chaos after Storm Darragh damages services

Trains have been cancelled across Britain as the government’s ‘risk to life’ alert came into force overnight.

It was the largest use of the warning system yet, with the alert urging residents to avoid driving and to ‘stay indoors if you can’.

Euston Station in London is the latest to fall victim to Storm Darragh earlier this morning.

National Highways said both the Prince of Wales Bridge, M4 and the Severn Bridge, M48, which connect south-west England to Wales were closed because of strong winds.

Network Rail Wales said owing to a fallen tree, all train services on the North Wales Coast Line are suspended until further notice.

National Highways advised the QEII Bridge at Dartford Crossing in England’s South East had also been closed due to strong winds.

This is just some of the aftermath of the storm. Follow for further updates on travel throughout the day.
