Hundreds without power and travel disruption as Storm Amy hits Wales | UK News

Hundreds of homes are without power as Storm Amy brought 85mph gusts to Wales.

Ferries and trains have been cancelled and bridges shut, and a ferry sailing from Dublin to Holyhead has spent hours circling offshore as it is unable to berth.

A fallen tree at Gobowen led to rail services being suspended between Shrewsbury and Wrexham on Friday, while the M48 Severn Bridge was closed in both directions.

There are flood alerts in place across mid and north-west Wales and the Met Office has urged those on the coast to stay safe during the stormy weather.

Llanelli based rugby team Scarlets have had to postpone their match against Connacht as a result of travel disruption caused by Storm Amy. They were due to fly to Ireland for a 13:45 BST kick-off on Saturday.

On Saturday morning, National Grid said there were about 363 homes without power in south and west Wales.

These include a power cut affecting 226 customers in the Steynton area of Milford Haven, 100 homes without power in Cathays, Cardiff and 31 customers affected in Gorseinon.

SP Energy Networks has reported a large power cut in Penmaenmawr, Conwy and in the Trefriw and Llanrwst area. There are also homes without power in Bodorgan on Anglesey, at Betws-y-Coed, Barmouth and Cefn Mawr near Wrexham.

Transport for Wales has said that a boat has collided with a bridge between Tywyn and Harlech in Gwynedd causing all lines to be blocked.

Train services running through these stations may be delayed with disruption expected to last until 11:00 BST.

A Ferry crossing from Holyhead to Dublin was cancelled, along with the Stena ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare.

The Met Office has warned people to be “aware of large waves” and to “stay safe” during the stormy weather.

“Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea. Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
