On average 4,500 trains a year have been cancelled in the last decade, disrupting thousands of passengers and businesses, according to new data, which also reveals the stations and networks worst affected.
New data has revealed the stations and train operators worst hit by flooding in recent years, bringing travel chaos for thousands of passengers and demonstrating the 'disruptive impact' of climate change.
A Network Rail spokesperson told Sky News climate change is 'without doubt, the biggest challenge facing the railway'. A recent study found hotter temperatures made the UK's recent wet winter even worse, making the total rainfall 10 times more likely and 20% wetter. And the many left waiting on soggy Scottish platforms won't be surprised to learn that Scotland has seen the biggest increase in rain, the Met Office has found.
