I've just been watching the local news and all trains going south out of Birmingham New Street have been cancelled as a result of the severe weather we have had in the Midlands. It is currently 6:10pm and no train has left for the last 4 hours heading south. Birmingham New Street station is absolutely crammed full of people with nowhere to go as its the start of the school holidays and its the busiest Friday of the Summer. The police are warning travellers to stay away as there is simply no more room for anybody at the station. The rail companies have no idea when the next train will be leaving to go south as rain continues to fall.
There is absolute pandemonium and chaos on the railway system around the midlands tonight!
Met Office weather warning:-
Friday 20 July WEATHER WARNING Torrential rain is expected to continue falling in Wales and central England. Further flooding and travel disruption is expected. Valid until 2007-07-21 0300BST.
