at this traffic control centre in the west midlands, they have been monitoring the roads. had a bit of a bumpy landing. many others have been cancelled. rail companies have been advising people not to travel. large parts of the network have been shut anyway. if people do need to travel, they should first of all be prepared for very long delays and secondly check with their train operator that the train is running. in common with other agencies, our strong advice is not to travel. london and the south—east of england are facing an unprecedented situation. part of the o2 arena could not withstand the storm. in waterloo a man was injured by falling masonry. he has been taken to hospital. in buying it, this shed was no match for the winter. the mayor says it is an unprecedented situation. the met office don't issue a red weather warning as a matter of course. the first time ever in london. storm eunice is the worst storm we have faced in three decades in london. it is really important you err on the side of caution. weather warnings remain in place until tonight but even then
