Yellow weather warnings for Storm Ciarán have been issued by the Met Office, from early evening on Wednesday 1 November until early morning on Friday 3 November.

Trains services across the Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Southern and Thameslink network may be cancelled or delayed.

Customer Advice

Storm Ciarán is expected to cause significant disruption to services across the Southeast on Thursday 2 November with a risk of disruption to Friday 3 Nov too.

At this point there is still some uncertainty about the impact, however Network Rail are planning for speed restrictions to be in place across the network which will cause delay and lead to changes to the train service.

Given the high winds that are forecast and the risk of fallen trees and debris being blown on to the tracks, some routes may have to close on Thursday so you should consider changing your travel plans or working from home on Thursday if you can.
