The weather in the UK is turning distinctly
tropical with the hottest day of the year marred by torrential rain and
major disruptions across parts of the transport network following a
spectacular lightning storm last night.
An electrical storm in the early hours of this morning damaged power
lines used by train provider Greater Anglia and had led to severely
affected services to and from London Liverpool Street with a raft of
cancelled trains.
Lightning struck more than 3,000 times in two hours, BBC Weather said, iving eager photographers and storm lovers a sight to behold.
Routes to and from London have now improved, while disruption is also being experienced on routes going through Romford.
"An earlier signalling fault in the Romford area caused by lightning
strikes was causing disruption to all trains through this area," the
firm says on its website.
