UK Weather: Environment Minister says Storm Eunice is ‘extremely serious’

#stormenuice #eunice #extremeweather #ukweather

Trains and ferries stopped running across parts of Scotland from 4pm today as Storm Dudley charged in from the Atlantic. ScotRail wound down almost all services today amid fears of falling trees and blowing debris as Storm Dudley – the first of two storms to hit the UK this week –  reached winds speeds of more than 80mph. Ferries have also been severely disrupted, with 20 of the 29 routes experiencing cancellations. It came as the Met Office upgraded its ‘danger to life’ amber warning to cover the whole of England on Friday when Storm Eunice is expected to slam the country with blizzards and 100mph gales.
London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has also told customers ‘Please do not travel on Friday 18 February’ as they warned of severe weather conditions across the UK brought by Storm Eunice. LNER said in a statement: ‘Our trains will be most impacted by the severe weather in the southern parts of our route (south of York/Leeds) and as a result we will be running a reduced service between London King’s Cross and York/Leeds. We expect these trains to be extremely busy and subject to short notice cancellations and alterations.’
