Just an advanced warning of anyone traveling out on the trains tomorrow to check their journey beforehand.
With strong winds and trees in full leaf, the wind speeds will have much more of an effect than say in winter, where most trees are bare.
Expect there to be some fallen trees just about anywhere on the network, and with saturated ground from all the recent rainfall, this could happen quite easily.
From the Met Office;
‘Unseasonably strong southwesterly winds are expected to cause some disruption, with gusts over 40 mph quite widely inland. Gusts over 50 mph are possible across parts of central and south-eastern England, particularly in association with showers. Gusts in excess of 60 mph are likely around coasts of Bristol Channel, English Channel and through the Strait of Dover’
