Well, they can't be expected to run TRAINS in an inch of snow!!!! Really... and the underground can't keep running if the ends are snowy...

just out of curiosity: why is it snow comes and everything traffic/train/etc wise gets all messed up?

Because snow is slippery?

I suppose because (in London, anyway) it happens so rarely that we're completely unused to it and completely unprepared for it.

@ Jade: hum, that anything like the us capital, washington dc? where one snowflake hits the town and everyone there freaks? lol (its what i heard, anyway!) LOL, yeah, it's like that. The actual snowing wasn't the problem, it was the fact that it stuck that caused the difficulty. Anyway, apparently London Underground, the train companies, etc, were apologising all over the place to the people caught in the traffic chaos, which did make me feel a bit better. |
