Trains to London cancelled or delayed after Storm Darragh causes shortage
There’s a shortage of trains running from the south west of England into London today in the aftermath of Storm Darragh.
The poor weather conditions, including heavy rain and strong winds, has led to a shortage of South Western Railway trains able to run between Salisbury and Yeovil Pen Mill / Exeter St Davids.
This is impacting trains between London Waterloo and the south west.
National Rail said: ‘This means that fewer trains will run, and some services may have reduced carriages as a result.’
Trains could be delayed by half an hour or cancelled, and the disruption is expected to last until the end of the day on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, on the Underground, there’s a shortage of trains on the Piccadilly line which is causing severe delays.
