Weather Warning As Train Delays Expected

Network Rail is warning of disruption to the Christmas getaway as strong winds and heavy rain are expected across Britain tomorow.

Gusts of up to 60mph are expected nearly everywhere in the afternoon, possibly reaching 80mph later in the day in some areas.

Some trains could be delayed or cancelled and some rail operators could run an amended timetable, Network Rail said.

It could mean disruption to Christmas travel plans for many thousands of people.

The wild weather could also cause problems for motorists. The RAC is predicting that 13 million people will take to the roads from December 24 to 26.

Sky News Weather Presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "Very strong winds are expected [on Monday] as the deep area of low pressure across the southwest moves northwards past the Western Isles of Scotland. Gusts are expected to reach 60mph almost everywhere during the afternoon.

"Later, during the evening and overnight wind gusts may reach 70-80mph across central and south-eastern parts of England.

"Heavy rain is also expected to spread eastwards to most of the UK during the afternoon and overnight. So it will be a very wet and very windy day for all areas."
