ALL trains have been cancelled in Wales tomorrow as Brits brace for Storm Eunice's 100mph gale-force wrath and heavy snow blizzards.

       Brits have been told to NOT travel on Friday as forecasters predict this could be one of the worst storms in recent years.

       The Met Office has issued a red warning for the South West - which is the highest alert the meteorologists can give.

       The danger to life red weather warning covers the coastline of Devon and Cornwall - as well as the south coast of Wales and will come into effect from 7am on Friday.

       Forecasters have told Brits to brace for flying debris and damage to buildings and homes - as roofs tiles and power lines are expected to be brought down.

       A Cobra emergency committee will meet on Thursday to discuss the response to Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice, the Government said.

       Wales have now cancelled all trains for tomorrow because of the urgent alert - which is set to bring 100mph winds.

       Some schools in Wales are also braced to close tomorrow due to the "rare" weather front.

       A Network Rail spokesman said disruption is "inevitable", as the Met Office issued a red weather warning and said flying debris could result in danger to life.

       The railway operator said there will be blanket speed restrictions of 50mph in most places, with winds forecast to reach 90mph in some areas.

       South Western Railway said a speed restriction will be in place across its entire network for most of Friday.

       The RAC has urged motorists not to drive during Storm Eunice unless it is absolutely necessary following the alert for snow, heavy rain and winds.

       RAC Breakdown spokesperson Rod Dennis said: "With a rare red weather warning for extreme winds in place tomorrow, safety on the roads will be paramount. It's vitally important drivers don't set out during Storm Eunice unless it can't be avoided.

       "It might be better to make trips today or delay them until the worst of the storm has passed.

       'STAY AT HOME'

       "Drivers who make unnecessary journeys risk putting themselves and their passengers in danger, as well as the lives of anyone who may need to help them should something unwanted happen.

       "People who can work from home tomorrow should definitely do so, and we also urge people not to be tempted to drive to the coast to take photos of the extreme conditions."

       And royal duties have also been postponed - with Prince Charles' trip to South Wales on Friday being cancelled because of the intense weather.

       In Cornwall, residents are being urged to take precautions and only travel if absolutely necessary.

       Cornwall Council said the storm is likely to be as powerful as those that affected the county in 2014 while forecasters have warned it still has the potential to strengthen further.

       BLOWN OFF TRACK

       The council said the worst of the winds are set to coincide with high spring tides along the Cornish coastline at around 6am - leading to overtopping and possible flooding.

       "People are urged to stay back from cliffs and seafronts due to the danger of large waves," a council spokesman said.

       "Residents are urged to pay close attention to the weather forecast over the next two days and are urged to only travel on Friday if absolutely necessary."

       Meanwhile, Mid Devon Council has suspended waste and recycling collection on Friday due to the weather.

       This comes as deadly Storm Dudley - which caused havoc on Wednesday and Thursday - sadly killed a man who fell from a lorry during the unrelenting winds.

       The man, in his sixties, plunged around 12 feet after falling from the double-decker wagon.

       It is believed he was attempting to unload heavy goods in high winds when he lost his balance.

       Emergency services were called to the industrial incident in Marston Green, near Solihull, West Mids, at 9pm last night.

       Medics tried to revive the man at the scene but despite their efforts he was pronounced dead.

       DEADLY DUDLEY

       Today, drivers got a taste of what's to come after a road "sank and drowned" in the New Forest.

       Cars juddered to a halt with broken suspension systems and damaged tyres and wheels after the surface subsided, with fears that a nearby bridge has been damaged by the force of water.

       Motorists will be hoping their insurers pay up for the repairs which could run into thousands of pounds.

       Residents say the road surface suddenly "sank" before warning signs were not in place.

       It's thought dozens of vehicles were damaged when drivers found the road had subsided and a large sinkhole had opened up - with no advance warning telling them to slow down.

       Engineers were called to begin emergency repairs to the tarmac close to Burbush car park, which was reported to have dropped around 50cm overnight.

       Locals say the drivers of two buses with ruined suspensions were forced to stop and abandon their vehicles nearby.

       Meanwhile Operators of the Tamar Bridge, which links Devon and Cornwall, said there was likely to be lane restrictions on Friday due to high winds.

       There could also be restrictions on high-sided vehicles using the suspension bridge.

       In Newport, the Civic Centre will be closed due to the weather and all Covid-19 vaccination centres in the Swansea area will be shut on Friday.

       In Gloucestershire, a major incident has been declared due to the risks posed by Storm Eunice.

       The county's local resilience forum said there were flood warnings in place along the Severn Estuary up to Longford.
