A yellow weather warning for wind has been issued for much of the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) area, and an amber warning for the far West.
I do not normally take that much notice of yellow warnings, but an amber warning portends more serious conditions.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

I live near Windy Corner which is high on the ridge between the River Dart and the sea and it has been a bit of a damp squib. Fence still standing, not much rain.

Just the usual Cornish wind!
Not really much of a blow.  A few smaller tents blown out, but they would be the ones with a lower wind limit anyway.
......Nothing to see here....

Wet and windy here, but not exceptional.
Friends in a very exposed area near Exmoor report trees down, and "hen house destroyed" no hens were harmed as they had all vanished in a previous storm.

Local beef farmer reports some minor damage but nothing serious.
