Passengers are being urged to plan ahead and allow more time for travel this evening and tomorrow morning after the Met Office issued a weather warning for strong winds.
Gusts of 55-65 mph, potentially reaching 75 mph in some places, look set to hit the region at 8pm on Tuesday night and continue until 10am on Wednesday morning.
The weather is likely to increase journey times across all modes of transport, with damage to trees and restrictions on roads and bridges possible.

“Please plan ahead and allow more time for your journey as disruption to journey times is likely.
