    And the M25 car park is solid from 5 (M26) to 15 (M4). Drive carefully!

      Post-heatwave storm brings flash floods causing widespread disruption - BBC News

      Flash flooding has caused travel chaos in parts of England as thunderstorms dumped almost half a month's rain in some parts overnight.
      A train from Milton Keynes to Euston derailed near Watford Junction, injuring two people.
      The worst-hit areas are across the east, south and south-east of England which all have amber warnings in place, according to the Met Office.
      Roads, homes and a hospital are flooded with lightning damaging buildings.

              We had torrential rain, thunderstorms, flash floods and travel disruption oop North on Tuesday and no-one gave a toss on national news. Once the Sarf East is affected, it's a headline-worthy crisis.

                I arrived into London at 6am today on the sleeper train into Paddington. Casually went for some breakfast at the GWR 1st-class lounge knowing my KGX connection wasn't until 7:30 and early morning it only takes 15 min to get across.

                Thought I'd check the TFL website to see how frequently the trains were, only to find there was a strike!

                Made my connection by about 10 minutes but only because the 20-minute reduced service just happened to arrive as I got on the platform.

                It was raining quite a lot too - is this thread about the strike or the weather?
