Well said.
Strong agree. Hard to see a reason for the hole in the amber warning.

I was due to fly from Belfast to London tonight on the last flight, which unsurprisingly has been cancelled in the past hour.
All credit to BA, the cancellation text included details of the flight tomorrow that I was automatically rebooked onto, together with the option to change it to a different flight free of charge, or request a refund. I decide a flight at 06:45 was too early for me, so changed it to a more civilised time. All very easy to do online - something that the TOCs should try and do.

CSL2 Code Black for Avanti West Coast due to mass cancellations and delays expected over the next couple of hours. Winds are strengthening quite rapidly now and we’re nowhere near at the peak of the storm.

Code black has not been issued at Avanti they are still running services albeit slow for obvious reasons. 1433 departed Glasgow and is running 3 late at present

WMT going to be busy. Half hourly Euston to Northampton all stations and hourly from Brum to Northampton.
Suspect the split is because they might have to give up on north of Northampton at some point, but south of it should be OK.
On industry systems, they are showing as Code Black
It is only just gone 3pm - We are barely at the start of the event which will peak later tonight and into the early hours.
Going to be a testing period. Thinking about tomorrow morning...what is the process for this type of thing to check / inspect the infrastructure?
Absolutely the right thing to do.

London and the SE are still only under yellow warning and may escape the worst of it. Of course there's little point Avanti running Euston to MKC shuttles.

Picked up here in Hertfordshire in the last half hour or so. However the worst time is expected to be much later on.
It still seems like the London area will see a pretty severe event. Indeed the lack of amber warning here seems to be attracting some consternation. Time will tell, but it seems like it’s more going to be a case of escaping the very worst rather than worst. Multiple hours of 50+ winds, saturated ground, and many trees already having taken quite a hit over the last few weeks, is potentially still very dangerous.

Random question... On RTT, the AWC cancellations out of Euston seem to have a 50/50 split of cancellation codes. Half of them are showing XW (high winds), and the other half are showing X4 (heat).
Input error or is it another code that RTT can't decipher, thus reverting to 'heat'?

The buses don't stop running so that the bus drivers can get home. They stop running because the conditions aren't safe to continue operating.
RTT error, code X4 is : Blanket speed restriction for extreme heat or high wind in accordance with the Group Standards

Looking at the weather maps, Eastern parts of East Anglia may be spared the worst but the area north of London, bordering on the fens could have some very strong gusts, so I'm surprised they're only in the yellow area.
Think passenger taken ill just before also
Yes I saw a cancellation due to that also
What is a CSL2 Code Black?

Usually 1st service on each route is cancelled and run ECS to check the lines are safe.
When is the peak of this storm? This morning they were saying Tuesday.. I guess it has come early.
Customer service level 2, or Black - same thing.

Which essentially means what, in even plainer English? Everything is halted/terminated at next available station?

There are two storms, one tonight and another on Tuesday night. In between will be pretty gusty too.

It's industry language for the most severe disruption on a route, CSL stands for Customer Service Level
Green is anything up to 10 min delays
Yellow is anything over 10 min delays
Red is line closure but trains may divert and alternative arrangements can be made
Black usually ends in a do not travel message as multiple routes are facing major problems
