Fallen trees across Kent are causing disruption to train services.
A tree across the railway line near Paddock Wood is causing delays in the Tunbridge Wells area.
A fallen tree which temporarily closed the line at Deal has now been removed but Southeastern say services are running at a reduced speed.
The travel chaos is a result of high winds across the county and follows yesterday's yellow weather warning.
The Met Office say the warning will be in force until 6pm with a number of firework displays, including Kent's biggest at Leeds Castle being cancelled.
The Network says all lines are running reasonably well with the exception of:
- Medway Valley line - major disruption
- Hayes line - major disruption
- High Speed line via Ashford - minor disruption
- High Speed line via Gravesend - minor disruption
- Sole Street line - minor disruption

DFDS Seaways have suspended also ferry services at Dover due to adverse weather conditions.
