Storm Bert has continued to cause “devastation” across the UK this morning as commuters were urged not to travel.
At least four people have died over the weekend as roads turned to rivers and winds of up to 82mph swept through the country.
More than 200 flood alerts remain in place for England and Wales and travel disruption is expected to continue all week.
Fallen trees damaged the electrical overhead wires on lines between Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, and Stansted Airport. No trains are expected to run until 5pm.
London Northwestern Railway reported that no rail services would operate through Northampton station after the River Nene burst its banks.
Southern, which runs rail services across the south-east of England, said some services on Monday will be cancelled or revised because of forecast severe weather, including on its London network and the West Coastway between Havant and Southampton.
A “boiling water” notice was issued this morning for 10 areas in Wales, which have been among the worst affected by the flooding in the UK.
