Storm Ciar?n leaves trail of damage on railways

National Rail operators are warning of delays and cancellations to trains in England and Wales as a result of Storm Ciar?n, which tracked across southern England overnight and is now affecting towns in north west France. Network Rail has despatched emergency teams to repair damage in many places, and has also urged people living alongside railways to secure objects in their gardens. A trampoline has been blocking the line at Hastings, while many routes are affected by floods, landslips and fallen trees.
