to have no weather related transport problems whatsoever. I put you you
ladies and gentlemen, that some folk in the transport system are reacting to
warnings not actual real events! Minds have been made up in advance.


I was on Brockley station at 0930 this morning, we were continually
regaled with apologies over the tannoy for delays, short runnings and
cancellations due to the "severe weather conditions" ie about 4cm of snow.
They should go to Kashmir, 5 meters of snow, villages buried by avalanches.
But to be honest, the trains are no better when its blue skies and warm
sunshine.
