Train operators around the UK have advised customers not to travel on Saturday with rail networks widely flooded.
The Environment Agency has warned that flooding from major rivers could continue until Tuesday, amid widespread disruption caused by Storm Babet which is posing a “risk to life” in some areas.
Derby City Council said they are seeing record-breaking water levels in the River Derwent and warned that cleaning up after the floods could take several days. “Ongoing flooding is probable on some larger rivers including the Severn, Ouse and Trent through to Tuesday.”More than 300 flood warnings – where less dangerous flooding is expected – have been issued by the EA across England since Thursday, with the greatest numbers in Yorkshire and the East and West Midlands.
The Met Office downgraded the warning on Saturday afternoon after rainfall across eastern Scotland eased.
