JAKARTA - Floods are still hitting a number of areas in the UK. Toll road access and train operations are still affected.

Citing Metro, Friday, September 27, flooding with a certain height caused the M5 Toll Road near Bristol to be cut off this morning local time.

Cars that have entered the M5 Toll Road are reportedly trapped in the middle of the flood with no option to turn around.

Meanwhile, the toll road to the north between the 16 and 14 intersections, and to the south between the 14 and 15 intersections were temporarily closed until the flood receded so that the car could pass again.

The closure was followed by the A421 Toll Road intensiveshire. This is the fifth day the toll road has been closed since Sunday, September 22, due to flash floods.

The Chiltern Railways train operation was also affected by flooding. Passengers crossing the Bicester North and Banbury stations cannot use train modes because the route is covered by floods.

Strong winds still hit Newcastle and Edinburgh until the morning local time. The relevant authorities requested that the CrossCountry, LNER, Lumo, and TransPennine Express public transportation services reduce their speed in the two regions.
