Storm Austen causes disruption in South East

Storm Austen is causing widespread disruption across the South East, impacting flights, ferries, railways, and roads throughout the region. Simultaneously, a freight train derailment has led to major disruptions for rail services in east London. These transport issues, specifically affecting trains running through Barking, are expected to persist until at least the end of the day. Both weather-related events and the derailment are significantly hindering travel and logistics across the affected areas of the region.
