All trains in Wales have been cancelled for tomorrow as Storm Eunice brings a “danger to life”.

The Met Office has issued a red warning for much of South Wales as gusts of up to 90mph are set to hit the country.

All trains in Wales have been cancelled, with a Network Rail spokesman telling Sky News that the cancellations would come into force from the “close of traffic” on Thursday.

Prince Charles has also cancelled his planned visits to Newport and Swansea as a result of the weather warning.

What to expect from amber weather warning for Wales?

This is what the Met Office is warning to expect:

  • Flying debris resulting in danger to life
  • Damage to buildings and homes, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down
  • Uprooted trees are likely
  • Roads, bridges and railway lines closed, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights
  • Power cuts affecting other services, such as mobile phone coverage
  • Large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and homes, including flooding of some coastal properties

A spokesman said: “Extremely strong west to southwesterly winds will develop over southwest England and south Wales early on Friday.

“Widespread inland gusts of 70-80 mph are likely and up to around 90 mph near some coasts, with dangerous conditions on beaches and seafronts.

“Winds are expected to ease from the west during the late morning.”

What is a red weather warning?

This is how the Met Office describe a red weather warning: “Dangerous weather is expected and, if you haven’t already done so, you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather.
