Storm Gerrit batters UK as drivers face flooded roads and heavy winds
Festive travel plans have been plunged into chaos by Storm Gerrit, with trains and ferries cancelled as snow, heavy rain and gales hit the UK.
Drivers face flooded roads and heavy winds as Storm Gerrit continues to batter the UK.
The Met Office has issued nine weather alerts in force across the UK, in warnings of widespread disruption which came to pass on Wednesday as powerful winds and flooding wrought havoc on public transport.
Flooding on the West Coast main line brought trains to a standstill, hitting routes between Edinburgh and Manchester airport, and Glasgow and Birmingham. Elsewhere, East Midlands Railway trains have been cancelled for the rest of the day, while a signalling fault shut down travel between Luton and London.
