Otto? A strange name for a storm? Well, you could argue it’s strange to name all the storms but that’s what happened.

This year, The Met Office has named the storms in conjunction with Irish forecaster Met Eireann, and the Dutch national weather forecasting service KNMI.

However, Otto has been named by the Danish weather forecasting service, meaning there’s a bonus O this time around.

Every train from the station was delayed or cancelled due to the incident, which was caused by high winds due to Storm Otto.
