    From the downpour that has just ended flooding could be a risk!

    Well we haven't had rain in South Devon. If you have some to spare we will accept it.

    I’m surprised at that, been plenty in parts of North Devon and Cornwall, would have thought a bit came your way.

    We have had some but not loads on the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire border.

    It's very hit and miss. Torrential rain and thunderstorms in North London and South Herts this afternoon, not a drop in North Herts.

    Yes, N. Devon and particularly Cornwall have downpours. I guess we are too close to the sea.

    Take 3 - A spate of lineside fires on land adjoining the Severn Valley Railway has prompted the decision to return to heritage diesel-hauled services ONLY, with effect from Wednesday 31st August until Friday 2nd September
