Honiton: All South Western Railway trains have been cancelled due to 90mph winds

South Western Railway has suspended all its train services after gusts of 90mph and over 30 fallen trees affect the network.

High winds and strong gusts of up to 90mph are affecting much of the UK today. Due to debris on the lines and fallen trees, the company has made the decision to suspend all its services.

On a statement on their Twitter page, South Western Railway said: "Services are suspended across the South Western Railway Network.

"Do not attempt to travel. We will update you when things change."

In a joint statement, South Western Railway and Network Rail said: "Gusts of more than 90mph wind have caused multiple incidents across the SWR network today, with 30 fallen trees already blocking key routes.

"As a result, SWR services have been suspended until at least 18.00 and we strongly urge customers not to travel at this time. We are working hard to restore services, but ask customers to make alternative travel plans if they can.

"Customers should regularly check the 'Plan my journey' page on SWR's website, which will be updated with the latest information every hour.

"We would like to apologise to our customers for the impact this will have on their journeys, but – as always – our primary concern is the safety and welfare of customers and colleagues out on the network."

If you are booked to travel today, you can use your ticket on another day without incurring the usual administrative fees.
