Storm Ashley brings travel chaos and flood warnings

Dozens of flights were cancelled at Belfast City airport and Dublin airport due to 80mph winds, while several flights to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen were also called off.

Police Scotland advised motorists to “plan ahead and avoid unnecessary travel where possible” due to the “strong likelihood” of disruption on roads, while Transport Scotland was warning of likely delays to public transport. Ferry operator CalMac – which serves the west coast of Scotland – cancelled the majority of sailings yesterday, with the islands of Arran, Bute, Lewis and Harris being cut off as a result of adverse conditions at sea caused by the high winds.
