Read our privacy policy “Arriva Trains Wales are advising NOT TO TRAVEL along the Cambrian Coast route for the rest of the day”: the closure of the railway in north-west Wales was just one of the effects of Storm Brian’s battering of southern Britain. High winds brought down trackside trees twice on the line between Southampton and Fareham in Hampshire, while debris blown onto the lines near Christ’s Hospital in Sussex became “entangled beneath a train”. The Met Office warned that sea area Dover, covering the busiest stretch of coastal water for shipping, was expecting a “Southwesterly storm force 10, veering westerly and decreasing gale force 8”.
