Train passengers have been warned to only travel if absolutely necessary early next week as temperatures could top 40C in England. The Met Office has issued a red heat warning across parts of England for Monday and Tuesday - meanwhile a national emergency has been declared by the UK Health Security Agency, covering Monday until midnight on Wednesday (July 20).
