The UK faced widespread travel disruption on Monday as the aftermath of Storm Bert continued to wreak havoc, bringing severe flooding and claiming four lives over the weekend.

More than 200 flood warnings and alerts remained in effect across England and Wales. Rail services were particularly hard hit, with trains from London to the southwest canceled and severe disruptions affecting routes in central England.

Great Western Railway, which operates services connecting London to Bristol and Cornwall, urged passengers via X (formerly Twitter), "Do not attempt to travel on any route today."

The storm's victims included a dog walker in North Wales and a motorist in southern England who lost his life when a tree struck his car.

Major roads, including key routes in Northamptonshire and Bristol, were closed due to flooding and fallen trees. Meanwhile, rail services between London and Stansted Airport, the UK’s fourth busiest airport, were suspended due to debris on the tracks.

Storm Bert made landfall late Friday, bringing a mix of snow, heavy rain, and powerful winds across the country.

While the worst of the storm has passed, the Met Office maintained a warning for strong winds in northern Scotland on Monday. Forecasters predicted the weather would gradually improve in that region by early Tuesday. Photo by WeatherFollower, Wikimedia commons.
