Storm Éowyn is expected to bring severe weather conditions to northern England, causing widespread disruption to transportation networks, particularly rail services. Northern Rail has advised passengers to avoid traveling on Friday, as services could be canceled at short notice and onward connections may be impossible.
Passengers are urged to avoid relying on late services, as these may also be canceled due to the worsening weather. In some areas, neither trains nor replacement buses will be operating, and road transport could also be severely impacted by the storm.
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for strong winds, which could peak at 70mph (113 km/h) inland and up to 90mph along more exposed coasts and hills. Forecasters predict that the storm will bring very strong winds and cause widespread disruption. There are also warnings of possible power cuts and disruptions to services such as mobile phone coverage.
In addition to rail disruptions, road, air, and ferry services are likely to face delays and cancellations, with longer journey times expected. The winds are forecast to gradually ease later on Friday, but passengers are advised to stay updated on weather conditions before making travel decisions.
