In the last 24 hours, four people have died after the UK was
battered by strong winds and heavy rain, with the stormy weather causing
widespread chaos to rail, road, air and ferry travel as countless thousands
attempted to make journeys before Christmas.
A body was also found in a stream in by a dog walker in
Horton, Telford, just before 9am on Tuesday, but West Mercia police could not
immediately confirm if the body was male or female.
With trains cancelled or severely delayed on a series of
rail networks, crews have been working to clear storm debris from lines and
repair power cables. There is currently a limited train service to Gatwick
airport, south of London, which has also seen some flights cancelled or delay
by a storm-caused power problem in the north terminal.
