Wind fells trees and stop trains in Merton

3:26pm Tuesday 3rd January 2012 in Your Say By Craig Burnett

Heavy winds have sent trees crashing down and brough train services grinding to a halt.

Trees torn down by this morning's high winds include one on the Carters Estate on West Barnes Lane, Raynes Park and one in the car park of Raynes Park Waitrose.

Train services from Wimbledon station to Waterloo have been cancelled and heavily delayed because of the weather. Delayed services include those heading into the capital from Dorking and Guildford - while some from Hampton Court and Woking have been withdrawn completely.

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings across much of Britain, as the winds spark flood warnings and cause power cuts to thousands of homes.
