Great Western Railway advises customers to check travel plans as Storm Darragh brings strong winds this weekend. Red and amber warnings are in place, with potential for service delays and disruptions.
Great Western Railway (GWR) is urging customers to review their travel plans ahead of Storm Darragh, which is expected to bring strong winds to parts of its network this weekend.
Red and amber weather warnings are in effect, and while it expects to run train services, the storm may cause disruption and delays.
Strong winds mean speed restrictions will be in place across the network, increasing journey times. Fallen trees and other debris may also impact services.
Customers with tickets for travel on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December can be used on Monday 9 December.
