babet storm has turned a West Midlands train station into a fast-flowing river, halting services across the region.
Dramatic images show Wood End station in Tamworth-in-Arden, Solihull, completely inundated with water.
A video released by Network Rail shows the tracks submerged and just flood water moving across the platform this afternoon.
Locals praised the addition of the area's new canal as the rail service promised to solve the problem.
Network Rail said the unusual sight was one of many such incidents across the country, with services suspended on several lines.
The rail company posted the images today on X, formerly known as Twitter, and sparked an immediate reaction online.
A Network Rail spokesperson said the video showed "significant flooding" at Wood End station, with crews currently responding to the flooding.
Stunned social media users were quick to respond to the unusual sight, with one saying the station looked "more like a canal than a train station."
Another commenter was surprised that the flood had chosen the railway line as its preferred waterway.
They said, "Wow. It's amazing that railroad tracks, usually a little elevated, have become the default waterway for rain. Not other streams, storm drains, etc."
Many people happily saw the funny side of the situation, with one person saying: "Get out the mop and bucket."
Another joked: "Do you offer a replacement boat service?"
Warwickshire is far from the only area suffering the effects of Storm Babet, with the Meteorological Office having issued a series of warnings for the United Kingdom.
Among them is a red weather warning for this coming Saturday, as forecasters fear the rain could be life-threatening in areas of Angus and Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The agency is forecasting between 70mm and 100mm of rain between 00:00 and 23:59 on October 21, with "extensive flooding" that will put people's lives at risk and potentially isolate some communities.
