Disruption continues after Storm Bert

Delays are continuing on some transport links on Monday morning

Disruption to travel due to Storm Bert is continuing on Monday morning.

Power outages also affected homes across East and West Sussex, including more than 600 customers left without power in Robertsbridge and more in parts of Arundel.

A yellow warning for wind was in place in the South East over the weekend, leading to changes to planned events and transport delays.

Weather warnings and flood alerts remain in other parts of the country on Monday morning.

Disruption is expected on Southern trains until 10:00 GMT, with fewer trains running on the network.

South Western Railway says due to a precarious tree at Frimley, trains are running at reduced speed on the line towards Ascot.

Services across the network have been starting later than usual due to safety inspections, and trains are running at reduced speed on all lines, South Western Railway says.

There were delays on DFDS Seaways between Dover and Calais and between Dover and Dunkerque due to strong winds in the Channel, the operator said, but these have now eased.

The Environment Agency has issued four flood alerts for Surrey, including at Chertsey Bourne, the Lower River Colne and Frays River, the River Blackwater and The Cove Brook and the Upper River Wey.

People are being advised to avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses.

In the early hours of Monday morning, National Highways held traffic on the A3 between the Hindhead and Milford to clear flood water from the road, reopening all lanes at 00:30.

The A3 southbound between Kingston and Esher also reopened at about 6:40 after originally being closed an hour earlier because of "severe" flooding in the area, National Highways said.

On Sunday night, East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service said it had admitted multiple animals that had been injured as a result of Storm Bert.

Those near the coast were asked by the charity to look out for birds that had been injured by the storm.
