Storms cause Cop26 chaos: Thousands of delegates stranded as ALL trains are cancelled out of London Euston as torrential rain, 80mph gale-force winds and TORNADOES batter Britain

Thousands of delegates hoping to travel to Glasgow for the COP26 climate summit by train are still waiting inside London's Euston station tonight after a fallen tree caused damage to overhead lines and halted services.

Further disruptions continue to cause travel chaos for stranded passengers in the capital tonight after a fallen tree caused damage to railway lines and 'overhead wire issues'.

Avanti West Coast confirmed it was 'unable to run any services into and out of London Euston' and 'strongly advised' customers not to travel while London Northwestern railway reported cancellations to services at Berkhamsted due to damaged overhead electric wires at Northampton.

Meanwhile South Western Railway also told commuters that disruption was expected on their services until 8pm.

Tonight, National Rail's live departure and arrivals board showed delays to more than 20 trains, including those travelling to Glasgow Central, Liverpool Lyme Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Crewe and Northampton.

Just before 2pm this afternoon, an announcement in the station revealed all train services had been suspended and the concourse was 'exit only' due to overcrowding.

Pictures on social media showed the concourse packed with stricken travellers, many of whom were hoping to travel north for the climate conference which began on Sunday.

Others reported being stuck on slow moving or stationary trains - some for more than three hours - while others were forced to book domestic flights to reach the summit.

It came as parts of the UK may saw tornadoes today, the Met Office said, after strong winds and rain battered the country.

If only they had made it into the air and been blown out of the sky.

Psalm 2:1-4

1¶Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,

3“Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”

4¶He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.

Yes

Still, they will keep going until they get their man of lawlessness.

I’m fairly certain that he’ll praise the globalists. And they’ll praise him. And shall worship the beast and his image.

And mother nature said: “Control this assclowns!”. Sadly ‘they’ will use it as proof to act before we all die.

I get a kick out of the brits. They do have tornadoes there. Small ones.

I told one group the last time I was there in a pub, 15 years ago or so, what the hell would you guys do if you had one over a mile wide and rated F5? Like the one that hit OK several years ago.
I also told them that some of those suck the blacktop right off the roads when they pass over.

You all ought to have seen the look on their faces.

Algore’s global warming summits were typically snowed under. Now this. The simulation is sticking its tongue out.

One could only conclude that the climate is purposefully preventing these lowly humans from their puny attempts to influence climate. If one was a democrat, anyway.

I hope crazy Greta has to ride to Glasgow in a baggage car with no food or water.

Boo Hoo!

they should’ve seen this coming since they have their self proclaimed ability to predict and control the weather...

Clearly these raging storms are evidence of manmade climate change. Right?

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that God doesn’t have a sense of humor.
