Downpours may cause travel chaos
BRITONS could face travel chaos on Saturday as heavy rain causes disruption on the roads amid a strike by train drivers.
The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for parts of Wales, England and Scotland, with downpours causing flooding on roads and making journey times longer.
Flooding of homes and businesses is also possible.
The weather warnings come as train drivers in 11 companies, belonging to the Aslef union, will strike in a long-running dispute over pay.
Rain, at times heavy, is set to hit parts of south Wales and south-west England between 2pm on Saturday and 3am on Sunday. Cardiff, Swansea and Carmarthen in Wales, and Plymouth, Southampton and
St Austell in England are among areas that could be affected.
The Met Office said: “Rain is expected to develop across south Wales and south-west England during Saturday afternoon, moving slowly east to clear most areas early on Sunday morning. “Periods of heavy rain are expected almost anywhere. 15-25 mm is expected quite widely.
