Snow disruption Cambridge/London
My daughter and I have tickets for a theatre show in London this evening
(Wednesday) and want to travel up 'n back by train. At the moment, the theatre's website is saying "the show will go on, but watch this website for updates" Is London enduring a snowy apocalypse or are we in with a reasonable chance of making the journey ok by rail? My plan B: is to go all the way by car if the M11 is clear. -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." www.imagebus.co.uk/shop |

I think you have a reasonable chance by rail. FCC are running an emergency timetable (see http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk...=MajorIncident) so there'll be fewer and slower trains than usual, and might thus be a bit full, but my train (from St Neots) this morning ran fine apart from that.

Thank you! I've had a recent look at the live feed from Cambridge and it now seems 11 minutes delay is about as bad as it gets at the moment and for the foreseeable.

There's been a fall of snow over Cambridge, a couple of cm, but it's stopped now and the sky is clear. If that's all we get today here, you should be fine in this area. Sam |

Announcements at Charing Cross indicated last trains to everywhere from about 2030 onwards. I reckon there will be nothing much after 2100. |

Last train back is apparently the normal slow coach -- Duncan Wood |

Sam Disappointing, but there's quite a lot more for us due tomorrow and over the w/e - a shallow low's forming in the north sea in addition to convective showers blowing inland etc. And it's going to get extremely cold with a bitter wind chill from an ENE wind as well. I looked up my old postcode in West Sussex - believe it or not, they've had a 24 hr accumulation of 38 cms! Wow! |
