Passengers are being turned away from Clapham Junction and all train services have been suspended across the South Western Railway Network, leaving hundreds of people stranded.

A Customer Services spokesperson confirmed the closure, telling Clapham Nub News no one is being allowed in.

A red weather warning issued for London forecast winds of up to 90mph were likely to cause travel disruption.

SWR has told people currently on a train that it cannot guarantee they will be able to complete their journey and it will not be providing any replacement transport.

The company said: "Do not attempt to travel. We will update you when things change."
