- Rail passengers are being told to come back tomomorrow as severe weather, signalling faults and overrunning engineering works sees services grind to a halt across the UK.
Avanti West Coast customers were advised not to travel before Friday owing to significant disruption on the rail network.
It comes as Britons prepare to return home following Christmas celebrations or make trips ahead of the new year.
Crowds of passengers have been left stranded at London’s King’s Cross after a section of track between Newcastle and Edinburgh was blocked because of flooding brought by Storm Gerrit.

Wow be careful out there!! Praying everyone gets home safely 🙏
"Severe" is the new normal
Already gave up from using UK train
Thats Kilpatrick station thats flooded if anyone was wondering
These storms are getting very frequent.
It’s almost like we live on an island where storms are common
Climate change brings extreme weather. Just stop oil. Now.
HAARP 🙄
@@ThesocialmuteHD don’t be a smart arse , it’s wasn’t that common we are having them one after another almost
Geez 🙄 it’s windy 🌬️and cold 🥶
This is not happening in kings cross today wtf that was an edit from October
It would be nice to have a news report instead of random video clips.
I know, the second clip was a station near me months ago 😂
Using old footage to booster the propaganda
Do the Telegraph just stitch together a few videos from X now?
As does any news source.
People upload to social media, news sites gather from social media sites.
It's far, far more common than people sending stuff directly to the news sites.
The government of the United Kingdom needs to schedule a few emergency meetings with the Japanese and find out why we're so hopeless...and why they're not.
Clues in the name of the party in power CONservative. A rightwing party devoted to personal power and looting the country for profit. Unfortunately the slightly less corrupt party with a chance of getting in have been run by woke nitwits until recently. This may still be so but I’ve been too depressed by how crap the government is to investigate.
😂@@hodgkinsonstephen6837
We've always been hopeless , if we weren't hopeless something would be seriously wrong , besides we don't need a storm to wreck our country the politicians are doing a fine job of it
The Japanese work so hard they want to unalive themselves.
UK infrastructure is a disgrace. I just got back from 10 days travelling in China and I am absolutely shocked by the difference. How can the British government send billions upon billions to war in Ukraine when we can't even provide fast, reliable, efficient public transport to our own citizens. Disgraceful country.
The media never reports anything good about China
Tories. Full stop
What's the difference? Do they have floodproof rail stations?
@@XEM_AjaxEverything was wonderful under labour 😂
@@mertonsardeen2242 lots of things causes flooding, including the weather. Increasingly dry periods with sudden rainfall events, building on floodplains, the destruction of upland peat bogs, heavy snowfall followed by warm temperatures and rain, etc etc
I'm glad I live in the northeast where apparently weather doesn't exist.
What? There's a North East? Is it near Watford?
@@duckcensorship7446 Well, on a global scale yes.
Railway turned into a canal...no narrow boats? 🙂
No trains seem to be going atm
They're swapping them for ships
Tough leaves on the track probably as those steel wheels just can’t cope against the leaf 🍁
Strange as watching the storm of 1987 atm and yet we seem to be having more than our fair share of them,past 7/8 years seems to be slapping us with hurling wind n rain..😢
Welcome to the only country in the world that falls apart come rain, snow and wind and as a bonus now they can’t handle the heat neither lol
Oops, here was just few fences but the wind was strong then the ones I do pass 🙄
Don’t travel when a storm is forecast
Next
Railway tracks should have flood defences in place, its ridiculous.
Maybe stop building houses on flood planes we wouldn't have these problems.
Maybe trusting private companies to do update victorian infrastructure like they're paid to was a mistake.
But hey, idiots *_still_* keep voting tory.
Storm Gerrit.....everyone "Got it" alright! 😶🌫
We've got a teal warning what ever that is
It’s a yearly tradition
🙏
What a pathetic place Britain is becoming
Yep, and this very paper was pushing everyone to keep voting for tories.
Yeah, on the…27th…of DECEMBER…
I gerrit !

Yawn
Where’s the news on refugees trying to fly home for Christmas ?
Use more public transport and no cars
Oh look, it’s something that happens every year 😂
its winter and we get bad weather what a shock (that's sarcasm just to let some of your readers know ) mainstream media sensationalise again
One of the worst storms I've seen in these parts of India.
😂😂
And people dispute the effects of climate change...
Storms never happened before
Sucker !
Because they haven't happened yet maybe?
Its December in Scotland!!!! This is completely NORMAL!!!!!
Thank god for electric cars
@toolzandnewideas That won't be reported!!!
They are the best vehicle in wet weather. For the EV companies wanting to sell replacement batteries that cost more than the cars.
I’ve just farted and followed threw
😂😂😂
This is an example of brainwashing a society driven by images and paranoia
Aww booo hoo
Only a complete baby woud give such a daft made made up as "Gerrit" to a weather phenomenon
... says Guff.
@@jamessherburn Shouldn't it be spelt "sherbet", not sherburn?
Fancy rewriting that coherently for those of us who like to read?
Yawn
