This storm has caused havoc to transport across the country. Flooding has caused serious damage and the Canal & River Trust has recorded damage to the Worcester & Birmingham Canal.

There was a land slide at Shortwood Tunnel which had led to the canal being closed there.

The damage near Shortwood Tunnel has led to a long term closure of the Worcester & Birmingham Canal. The forces of nature can wreak havoc on the canal network which has repair cost implications. As funding declines the network is is jeopardy -
