Storm Claudio: Southern and Thameslink services cancelled due to storm

Rail services have been cancelled across the county due to the severe wind.

Southern and Thameslink have warned that severe weather will affect parts of its network until 8.30am.

In a statement Southern and Thameslink said: "Normal service is in place today but we expect some delays on some routes as speed restrictions are in place due to high winds this morning. Southern / Thameslink are expecting high winds across some of their coastal routes so there may be disruption to trains at the start of service in the morning.

"High winds bring the risk of fallen trees and debris blown on the line, whilst heavy rain can lead to localised flooding. Southern/ Thameslink are working with Network Rail to understand where the biggest risks are, and efforts are being made to lessen the effects of as many of these as possible."
