network leaving travellers stranded.
Train operators around the UK advised customers not to travel on Saturday 21 October due to widespread flooding, which has killed three people.
As train lines became widely inoperable, King’s Cross was forced to shut in order “to manage passenger numbers on the concourse and on platforms”.
Later in the evening, the station confirmed that “temporary crowd control measures had been removed”, while train operators were still asking people not to travel to avoid further disruption.

And that's why pubic transport is for L0SERS. Buy a car and go where you want.
Wrong kind of rain ?
Climate change! And Covid is still out there.
Travellers always causing problems
WEF pulling the UK strings!? Babet has been renamed WABBIT!

Are government is going around the world on aeroplanes we can't even get home on a train 😅

Wow…some white people in London
Unless your are on the coast, a bit of wind and rain will not hurt you southern climate global warming change mega muppets.
Anything to cause chaos to break peoples spirit.
Typical British Rail. Time to privatise
Nothing new about hoards of English people trying to get out of London
And in the Great British spirit, we're all in it together attitude, the hotels put up their prices for overnight stays.
Nothing like chaos to rip off your customers. 0:44
3 deaths from a storm and it’s all over the news .. still no mention of the 20% rise in deaths since the roll out
If Labour win next election there will be 200 MILLION more migrants in the UK
Globalist bullshit still on the rise…. club of Rome inspired actions against our infrastructure and democracy.
Do you think they have rain in Japan?
Stick your climate, global boiling up your hoop !!!
I am shocked at the treatment of the Traveller Community 😮
Stop traveling ffs
Blame the climate change 😀😀😀it always rains in Britain
It’s actually because of the Palestine Protests – NOT for the storm
Rat Race Toyz stuck in the Matrix 🥰
Never seen this before!
Going back to victorian era – cant use roads or rail. No baths just quick shower – relax – nope, not allowed. £ – double water bills. South east water 54 million in debt but paid £64 million to oversees share holders & recent study evidenced the toilet water at the local sports centre was cleaner than our tap water – insult to injury. Asked how they got permission to install meter…live in water shortage area, really why are there thousands of properties being added? Absolute thieves all round. We made a massive mistake in paying council tax – umm they rubbed their hands together – all started right there😖
Why is not a a nationwide emergency. These are our people for christ sake.
