Euston station is currently exit only - meaning it's closed to incoming passengers. And it will be, for at least the next hour.

There are no trains from Euston at the moment because of damaged overhead power cables between Milton Keynes and Watford Junction.

A decision will be taken on what happens next once Network Rail’s engineers have assessed the cables, which they’re currently doing using drones.

Reporting from Stanley, Derbyshire

A clean-up operation is now underway in the Derbyshire village of Stanley after a 60-tonne tree, measuring around 35m in height, was toppled in the early hours this morning.

Local tree surgeons – clad in bright orange protective clothing - are using chainsaws to remove branches from the tree to make the immediate vicinity safe for residents.

I’m told by Lee Mason (above), whose house suffered the brunt of the collapsed tree, that his young son Guy was in bed when it went through his bedroom window.

Lee says he heard what sounded like an earthquake when the tree was brought down during the high winds.

The family safely escaped into the morning darkness, but is now facing an arduous wait to find out the extent of the damage - and just before Christmas.

Now, while waiting outside the house with roof tiles and bricks from the chimney scattered around his feet, Lee says he feels fortunate that everyone got out unscathed.

And here's another quick line on the current situation for those trying to cross the English Channel.

Eurostar is now advising all customers with travel booked for today (21 December) to postpone their ticket bookings.

In a post on X,, external it says more updates will follow. It earlier said the issues were due to a "last-minute strike" by Eurotunnel workers, who manage the tunnel's infrastructure.

One traveller hoping to get to his family in north-west Germany for Christmas using LeShuttle services has been sharing his ordeal with the BBC.

Amjid Salam is making his way to Germany from England with his wife and three children, but they're currently stuck waiting in the passenger terminal in Folkestone, Kent.

He says there are "good spirits at the moment" but they have "little idea of how long this might take".

"They're offering a route out for those wanting to leave, with the warning that the free lane they're using for that may get filled up and no further exists [are] allowed," he says.

We're now getting a bit more from Eurotunnel that all of its LeShuttle services are temporarily suspended due to a strike.

LeShuttle is the rail service between Calais in France and Folkestone in the UK.

Its statement says: "Due to industrial action in France, all LeShuttle services have been temporarily suspended. We apologise for the delay to your journey. Further updates will be provided shortly.”

Eurostar earlier advised its passengers against travel today because the "last-minute strike" by Eurotunnel workers had resulted in all trains to and from London being cancelled until 15:30 GMT.

We're now hearing from British Airways that as a result of air traffic control restrictions put in place in response to Storm Pia, it has had to make "adjustments" to today's schedule.

BA says it has apologised to customers impacted by the disruption and its teams are working to get passengers "on their way" as quickly as possible.

Eurostar says all its trains to and from London through the Channel Tunnel are cancelled until 15:30 GMT today - not for weather-related reasons, but as a result of a "last-minute strike" by Getlink, the firm that operates the Channel Tunnel.

Its says no crossings have happened since noon today, and its statement adds: "Customers affected will receive direct communication about their journey and we recommend that travellers postpone their travel today if possible."

Shetland has already experienced wind gusts of 80mph (130km/h), as we reported a little earlier (and don't forget you can watch the live stream at the top of this page).

All schools have been closed due to the storm-force winds and there are power cuts in some areas.

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks said more than 2,000 customers were affected in rural areas, including parts of South Uist, the Isle of Lewis and Orkney.

A further yellow weather warning for snow and ice will come into force for Shetland at 15:00.

Multiple power cuts have also been reported across Dumfries and Galloway. Properties in Collin, Terregles, Sanquhar, Carronbridge, Moniaive, Colvend, Kirkcudbright, Gatehouse and Leswalt are among those affected.

Pupils at a number of school have also been sent home due to power cuts, and the A83 Rest and Be Thankful in Argyll and Bute is closed in both directions due to a HGV on its side. A 60-mile diversion is in place.

ScotRail says speed restrictions are in place today on some of its services as a result of Storm Pia.

It has also suspended services on a number of its routes. Replacement transport has been requested, but ScotRail warns that availability of this is "extremely low."

In a thread of posts on X, external, Scotrail says its advising passengers find an alternative route or delay their travel plans until services can be operated again.

Anyone who postpones their travel can use their tickets for up to two days after the disruption has ended, the firm says.

Storm Pia has been bringing strong winds, as we've been reporting on this page.

Elsewhere, atmospheric conditions have been just right for more nacreous or "mother-of-pearl" clouds.

There have been some great examples over the last few days but there was a great display this morning across northern England in particular.

The very windy weather is continuing to bring some impacts, with the Northern Isles feeling the force of Storm Pia.

Gusts widely across northern areas of the UK are 45-55mph (70-90km/h) but we’ve had much higher in some places, with 80mph in the Shetland Islands.

Winds will gradually ease this afternoon with the Met Office bringing forward the end of its yellow warning to 15:00, from 21:00.

We've got a live stream from the Eshaness Lighthouse in Shetland, which you can watch by pressing the play button at the top of this page. As we type, strong waves can be seen crashing over the coastline.

A yellow weather warning has been issued there, and a snow and ice alert will be in place from 15:00 this afternoon.

Winds of 80mph (130km/h) are also forecast, and all schools there have been forced to close.

Storm Pia's strong winds have caused a lorry on the Barton Bridge on the M60 to blow over.

No injuries have been reported.

North West Motorway Police say the anticlockwise carriageway has reopened but the clockwise side is still closed and there are huge queues. Diversion signs are being used to assist motorists.

Drivers have been advised to avoid the area with police advising people not to travel unless essential.

We're now getting some fresh guidance from the RAC, which says Storm Pia's strong winds will make Christmas getaway trips more challenging this week - particularly in northern parts of the UK.

In light of the Met Office's yellow weather warning, spokeswoman Alice Simpson says drivers "need to be on high alert for fallen branches, and even trees" as well as other debris.

While windy conditions don't tend to cause a spike in breakdown numbers, going over debris can lead to punctures and more serious damage to vehicles, Simpson explains.

The National Grid is updating customers on X (formerly Twitter) about power cuts in the Midlands, external caused by Storm Pia and when it expects to have supplies back on.

• There is a power cut in Burton upon Trent which engineers hope to have fixed by 11:00
• It says most of the supplies in Matlock in Derbyshire are back on and it hopes to have the remaining properties reconnected by 12:00
• Markfield in Leicestershire is also experiencing a power cut, which National Grid engineers hope to have resorted by 12:30
• And engineers are also working to fix an outage in Mansfield in Nottingham and hope to have all properties back on by 12:30

Damage to the overhead electric wires between Macclesfield and Stoke-on-Trent means lines are blocked and rail travel in the region impacted, Avanti West Coast says, external.

"Train services running through these stations may be delayed or diverted via Crewe," its statement adds.

Services running from the region to southern England including London are being affected, the operator has confirmed to us.

Given the Met Office's latest weather warning, the AA has told drivers hoping to set off today - before the Friday and Saturday peak times - to be alert to debris and flooded sections on the roads.

Some 21 million drivers are planning to make their festive getaways ahead of Christmas Eve, according to the RAC.

Traffic analysts predict roads will be 20% busier than last year, and around 60% of pre-Christmas journeys will be made in the three days before Christmas.

Motoring experts have warned the worst traffic tailbacks on the UK's motorway network will be on the M25 around London - particularly on the stretch between the M3 and M40 near Heathrow Airport - and on the M1 between Luton and Northampton.

Drivers have also been advised the M5 around Bristol, the M60 around Manchester, the M6 between Lancashire and Birmingham and the M4 in south Wales and around Bristol to London will be among the busiest routes this Christmas.
