Following the stormy wind Gatwick
and Heathrow airports warned flights may be disrupted by air traffic
restrictions due to the weather, advising passengers to check with their
airlines.
Due to stormy wind the
Severn Bridge on the M48 has been closed and part of the A35 bypass at
Dorchester has also been shut due to flooding, Highways England said.
The Port of Dover was
closed for two hours overnight, with the authority tweeting on Monday that it
was monitoring the situation.
The UK’s ninth storm of the
winter season affects road, rail and ferry networks and leaves almost five
thousands homes without power.
P&O Ferries tweeted
that its Dover to Calais route would be disrupted, while Brittany Ferries said
many of its sailings would also see disruption, with "significant"
disruption on its services to Spain.
Elsewhere, services from
Liverpool to Dublin and from Newhaven to Dieppe have been cancelled.
Speed restrictions are
affecting train services by Arriva Trains Wales, Great Western Railway,
Southern, South West Trains, the Gatwick Express, South-eastern and Thameslink
services until at least 5pm due to high winds, according to National Rail
Enquiries.
