Winter storms battering England and Wales have left a ferry stranded at sea, roads flooded and trains diverted.

Great Western Railway users have been urged not to travel to the west of England and south Wales, and a ferry has been unable to dock at Fishguard.

A tree fell on to overhead tram power cables in Greater Manchester and flood sirens have been sounded in Yorkshire.

Forecasters have warned that areas already flooded are at risk of more flooding in the next 24 hours.

Further wet weather is expected to sweep across the South West and move north, causing more disruption.

A Stena Europe ferry which left Ireland at 09:00 GMT was unable to dock at Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, "due to extreme weather conditions".

The ship left Rosslare with 87 passengers and 59 crew onboard and was due to dock at 12:30 on Monday.

After a second attempt to dock failed, it was decided to stay at sea overnight ahead of a third attempt scheduled for 12:00 on Tuesday.

At 23:00 on Monday, the Environment Agency had 72 flood warnings in place - meaning flooding is expected and immediate action is required - in England and Wales.

Flash flooding has also caused problems in the North West. A tree fell on to overhead power lines in Withington, Manchester, causing damage to a tram on the Metrolink. No-one was injured.

Areas of Tameside including Stalybridge have also been affected and there are flood alerts in place in Bacup, Lancashire.

In Yorkshire, people living in the Calder Valley, including the town of Hebden Bridge which was devastated by flooding last Christmas, have been warned to expect the rivers to flood.

The Trans-Pennine Express has also been affected with passengers urged not to travel.

Power cuts

Storm Angus had already brought gusts of more than 80mph and caused power cuts for more than 1,000 homes in the South West on Sunday.

Flooding shut roads and the wind brought down power cables in Devon.

Eleven crew members also had to be rescued from a cargo ship after it crashed into a stone barge off the coast of Dover and began taking on water.

The Environment Agency said it was preparing to put up temporary defences "where necessary" and that rivers had been cleared to make sure water could flow freely.

Motorists are being warned not to drive through floodwater and residents in at-risk areas have been advised to contact their local councils for sandbags to protect their homes.
