Heavy rain and flooding overnight has shut some rail lines. The Met Office has a yellow weather warning covering Kent, Essex, Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset, and London.
Storm Conall has brought heavy rain to parts of southeast England, triggering flooding which has blocked key rail lines, causing travel delays. Commuters are being warned of heavy disruption on some routes and advised not to travel on some parts of the network this morning. The Met Office has predicted the third named storm of the season could bring up to 50mm of rain on Wednesday - just days after torrential rain from Storm Bert over the weekend.
There are problems between Guildford and Wokingham / Farnham. Trains are expected to be cancelled or delayed until 11am. Meanwhile no trains will run between Tonbridge and Redhill on Southern trains. And on the Isle of Wight, the line between Ryde Esplanade and Ryde St Johns Road is expected to be closed until later this morning. On Wednesday morning there were around 100 flood warnings and 153 flood alerts in place - the vast majority in England.
