But the situation is completely under control. The operation of the Euro Star train that runs under the English Channel, was resumed in the morning.

Greater Anglia was forced to suspected services across its entire network because of damage to overhead wires and fallen trees.

Many train companies announced cancellations or suspensions to services as early as Sunday, as the storm raced across the Atlantic.

However, asked whether train companies had overreacted to the risk posed by the storm, Prime Minister David Cameron said:  “Everyone has to act on the basis of the evidence that they are given.

“Afterwards we’ll be able to look back and see whether people made the right decisions.

“But right now what matters is listening to the evidence, working together and getting things back to normal.”

The strong winds and heavy rain also caused disruption on the roads, with a number of major routes affected.

Both Severn estuary crossings were closed, as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the Sheppey Crossing in Kent.
