Major National Express Coventry and WM Railway Disruption After Storm Goretti
Storm Goretti brings heavy snow, strong winds, and icy conditions causing cancellations and delays across England, Wales, and Scotland, with up to 30 cm snow in some areas, officials said.
- Network Rail issued a 'do not travel' advisory on January 8 across the West Midlands as Midlands Railway suspended all services and London Northwestern Railway halted routes until Friday afternoon.
- The Met Office issued amber and yellow warnings forecasting up to 30cm of snow in the Midlands and Peak District, and operators said heavy snow, rain, and winds can damage signals and overhead lines.
- Operators relaxed ticket restrictions so ticket holders could travel earlier on Thursday or on Saturday January 10, while Network Rail engineers were on standby but replacement road transport may be unavailable.
- Schools announced early closures, including Lewis School Pengam and Blackwood Comprehensive, while passengers faced abandoned vehicles in Birmingham and runway closures at Birmingham Airport.
- Disruption is expected to last until the end of the day on January 9, with train services across the network revised and early-morning services facing possible short-notice cancellations.
