Storm Lilian Disrupts Leeds Festival and UK Travel

Travel disruptions marred the UK as all trains between Heathrow Airport and London Paddington were canceled due to a trespasser and damage to overhead lines. Meanwhile, Storm Lilian wreaked havoc at Leeds Festival, causing severe weather conditions that led to the closure of multiple stages, including the BBC Radio 1 stage, and forced artists like Renée Rapp to cancel performances. Festival-goers faced high winds that destroyed tents and caused safety concerns, leading many to demand refunds. The storm also impacted other parts of the UK, with strong winds causing further travel disruptions and power outages.
