Storm Éowyn is likely to cause severe disruption to rail services across northern England, a train operator has warned. Wherever possible, Northern Rail has advised passengers not to travel on Friday, stressing "trains may be cancelled at very short notice with onward connection not possible".

Storm Éowyn is gathering strength, supercharged by the Arctic blast that moved through the US, and has the potential to trigger power outages and travel disruptions across the UK later this week.

The Met Office has issued a 15-hour amber weather warning as Storm Éowyn is expected to make its way through Derbyshire and the wider UK. The amber wind warning starts on Friday January 24, 2025, running from 6am till 9pm.
