'Do not travel' warning as storm sparks ‘major rail disruption’ after five deaths

Trains to and from Scotland will likely be suspended until midday today after flooding and fallen trees blocked tracks.

Avanti West Coast told passengers not to attempt to travel north of Preston until at least noon.

Eight flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport and four at Glasgow Airport yesterday evening.

Howling 97mph winds were recorded at the village of Capel Curig in the heart of Snowdonia.

A yellow wind warning is in force until 1pm for Scotland, Northern Ireland, north Wales and north west England.

Another yellow warning runs until 3pm across north east England, the Midlands and south Wales.

The number of flood warnings has reached 21 in England and 37 in Scotland.

It comes after Storm Isha killed five people in 107mph gales over the weekend.

Dad-of-five Jimmy Rowe was named as one of the victims by his heartbroken family after his car veered off a flooded road in County Mayo, Ireland.

Elsewhere, a man died in Bradford after reportedly falling down a "man-made trench" - which had been fenced off by barriers.

A neighbour said the storm blew the barriers over - and photos from the scene show them lying on the ground.

Three people died in separate weather-related crashes in Falkirk in Scotland, Londonderry in Northern Ireland and County Louth in Ireland.
