Travellers crossing the Channel at the Port of Dover are facing long queues as disruption to the Christmas getaway continues across the UK.
An unscheduled strike by French Eurotunnel workers in a row over bonuses the day before led to the cancellation of about 30 Eurostar trains – leaving tens of thousands of travellers scrambling to replan their journeys.
The Elizabeth line on the underground had severe delays on Friday afternoon between London Paddington, Reading and Heathrow airport stations after two trains broke down.
Yellow wind warnings had been issued for those regions, advising people to expect travel disruption and damage to buildings and power cuts.
Rod Dennis, an RAC spokesperson, said: “With this latest weather warning affecting a large area of Scotland and parts of northern England, there is the chance travellers’ last-minute getaway trips could be disrupted.”
Network Rail advised travellers to check timetables before they embarked on their journeys as “some train services will be affected while we work to improve the railway”.
