Apparently the west coast main line is closed for a month, I'm afraid.
The terrible timing just adds to the industry. When I was a child we were flooded due to a flash flood, but it was clean water, because it was just rain running down the road to our house which was at the bottom, and not on saturated ground, so it drained pretty soon, and it was the middle of summer. It still meant new carpets and decorating the walls, but the sofas could be cleaned, the place remained habitable, and there was no long-term insurance issue. So different from what people have been dealing with.
