There is disruption to public transport, and this could well continue into the morning rush hour.
As a result of Storm Isha, all services between London Marylebone and Aylesbury Vale Parkway (in both directions) will be affected by a 50mph emergency speed restriction, due to expected high winds. This will be in place until end of service delays of 15 minutes are likely. pic.twitter.com/aHwVcJ5q8B

* Tree down between Silk Mill Way and Shugars Green, Tring
* Part of a tree on Coldhabour Way towards the roundabout
* Tree reported to be down at the bottom of Coombe Hill, Hughenden Valley. Road blocked completely
