Transport services in most parts of Britain and London will be disrupted on Monday morning as the country battles wind and rain brought about by a severe storm.
Early morning services have been cancelled by train companies and most flights coming into London will be affected.
Gusts of up to 80mph (130km/h) have been predicted as the weather coming in from the South West moves north and eastwards. There are also fears of flooding and damage.
A spokesman for Network Rail, said commuters should expect considerable disruption.
“This will impact up to Birmingham and up to Nottingham and the Midlands. If we get through this in the morning, restore the service during the afternoon and are able to start up a good service on Tuesday morning, in the circumstances I’ll be pretty pleased,” he said.
According to the BBC website, travel warnings include:
South West Trains have advised people not to travel on Monday with most services not running until at least 08:00 GMT to allow Network Rail to check lines. A reduced timetable will be in operation, with some trains limited to speeds of 50mph.
East Coast will operate a revised emergency timetable on Monday, with trains stopping at Peterborough until 10:00 GMT, and limited to speeds of 50mph afterwards.
First Great Western and Virgin West Coast main line are also running an amended service until 10:00 GMT and 09:00 GMT respectively.

Airlines operating in and out of Heathrow have been instructed to reduce their schedules by between 5% and 20% between the hours of 06:00 GMT and 22:30 GMT, leading to about 60 flight cancellations. It is not yet clear how many of those will be short-haul or long-haul flights.
