South Western Railway and Network Rail says services will be stopped until at least 6pm.

Multiple incidents across the railway network has seen more than 30 fallen trees blocking key routes throughout Friday.

Passengers are being urged not to travel at this time.

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.

We have nearly 30 trees blocking lines across the @SW_Help network, plus a few other objects.

Here are just a few photos from our teams that are battling the elements to remove them.

And yes, we've removed a trampoline from the line at #Norbiton.#StormEunice pic.twitter.com/Pw9cmCwEPt

“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”.
