Are trains cancelled? Full list of Monday rail cancellations - with Storm Franklin travel disruption

Rail companies have warned Londoners not to travel by train on Monday due to strong winds brought by Storm Franklin.

This is the third named storm to hit in the UK in under a week after Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind, which is expected to be lifted at 1pm today (Monday, February 21).

Due to the risk of trees and debris falling on the tracks rail companies have issued travel warnings for today.

Here is a list of the affected networks and routes, and all the cancellations.

Transport for London (TfL)

Some services on the London Overground have been partly suspended as damage from Storm Eunice is being repaired.

There will be no service between Romford and Upminster and severe delays between Stratford and Richmond/ Clapham Junction.

The Metropolitan line is experiencing  delays between MoorPark and Watford due to train cancellations.

Service is as usual on all other Underground and Overground lines.

Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern networks

Customers on Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern networks have been advised not to travel south of London as the company is expecting the strong winds to cause damage and obstructions to the train lines.

A 50mph speed restriction will be in place across most of the network during the day, which is expected to cause delays and cancellations.

Replacement transport will not be able to run due to the weather conditions.

The below routes are currently being affected by high winds.

Southern

A tree on the line between Tulse Hill and Streatham means services due to run between Caterham and London Bridge will be diverted after East Croydon and run non stop to London Bridge via Forest Hill.

This means fewer trains are calling through Dulwich, Peckham and South Bermondsey.

Thameslink and Great Northern

A tree blocking the railway between Tulse Hill and Streatham has caused a train to derail.

Until further notice, services between St Albans City and Sutton and also between Cambridge and Three Bridges, are suspended. Those call via London St Pancras and Blackfriars.

Services between Kings Lynn and London Kings Cross will run between Kings Lynn and Cambridge only.

The below routes are still affected by the damage from Storm Eunice on Friday:

Southern

Trains are unable to call at Battersea Park in the direction towards Clapham Junction, the Croydon area and Sutton.

South Western Railway

South Western Railway, which runs out of Waterloo, has said it will have speed restrictions in place across the entire network, which will “cause disruption to services.”

The network also anticipates further line blockages due to fallen trees and urges passengers not to travel as the network is unable to guarantee replacement travel services will be provided.

In a statement on their website, the train provider said: “Since Friday’s winds of over 90mph, Network Rail have cleared more than 50 fallen trees from our network.

“We still face challenging weather conditions as the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Storm Franklin until the end of today.

“With the wind direction expected to change it is very likely that more trees will come down during Storm Franklin, having been weakened over the last two days.”

Tickets for travel on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday will be accepted for travel on Tuesday, February 22.

Southeastern

Southeastern is “strongly advising” passengers not to travel today, and said speed restrictions would be in place and there would be disruption.

It said: “As a result of Storms Eunice and Franklin, a large number of trees and debris have been blown on to the tracks.

“Response teams have been working round the clock to clear as many of them from the railway as possible.

“The Met Office have now issued a yellow warning for wind from Storm Franklin on Monday so for safety reasons, a speed restriction will be in place across our network.

“We are expecting further disruption and some lines may have to close.”

Greater Anglia

Due to Storm Franklin, Greater Anglia says services on the whole of its network - which runs out of London Liverpool Street - could be delayed or cancelled.

Passengers up to February 22, can change the date of their ticket or get a full refund.

There are currently speed restrictions in place, and these timetables have been reduced to half hourly service:

• Southend Victoria to London Liverpool Street.
• Stansted Airport to Liverpool Street.
• Cambridge, Bishops Stortford to London Liverpool Street.
• Hertford East to Liverpool Street.

C2C

C2C - which runs from London Fenchurch Street, through east London and out to Essex - is only advising passengers to travel if it is essential, and says there could be cancellations on all routes.

It says: “Train services running across the whole c2c network may be cancelled, delayed by up to 10 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

“We are expecting high winds on Monday 21 February due to Storm Franklin, which will cause unplanned delays and cancellations due to debris and trees from the wind.

“As a result, Network Rail will implement a 50mph speed restriction across the network.”

Chiltern Railways

Chiltern Railways services - which run from London Marylebone to Oxford, High Wycombe, and Birmingham - are being delayed and cancelled due to a tree on the line between Amersham and Harrow-On-The-Hill.

The company said: “Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes. Disruption is expected until 1.30pm.”

Five trains have been cancelled and a further 11 are heavily delayed.
