Flooding hits homes, causes rail, road disruption
Floods hit properties, closed an M25 slip road and caused travel delays across the south east of England after a night of heavy rain. Flood warnings were issued for parts of East Sussex and Kent, with flooding expected until Friday morning.
At least 45 properties have flooded across Kent, the Home Counties, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, according to the Environment Agency.
Meanwhile, there have been train delays due to the "severe weather" affecting Gatwick Express, Southern and Thameslink services, Southern Railway said.
