meanwhile, in london, euston station has been made exit—only because of serious congestion caused byand cancellations. people waiting on the concourse to find out what the alternative travel options are. network rail say they will open the station normally as soon as there is enough space on the concourse to safely accommodate people. and in flitwick in bedfordshire, a man was rescued by road police after being trapped for over an hour in his car by a falling tree. had a lucky escape by the look of things. although it was a protracted effort to get him out. earlier i spoke to our weather presenter phil avery, who told me why it's so windy and what we should expect over the next 2a hours. let's have a quick look at why this is also very windy. that does not actually look like a realist humdinger of a storm. the centre of the road load. by tea—time it will be over. the more i suppose you see on the chart, they were when you get. these are the sort of balance you're expecting to see. you will notice that in some respects we are expecting the strongest of the winds are to be further sad
