Hi,

I'm in North London and we do not seem to have much snow here,
apparently there are problems on the central and metropolitan lines.
So whats the snow like were these trains are going?

I'd be surprised if there was any. There's none out here in Aylesbury.

LU say that there are no Met trains to Chesham or Watford and severe delays
to Amersham, also delays on the Piccadilly, all caused by "adverse
weather". Can't they cope with a normal winter's day, or are conditions
really bad?

They're really not too bad round here.

No, they can't cope with a normal winter's day.

Last year when London ground to a halt after a inch of snow I
thankfully was waiting for a train just as it started to snow.
Starting work at 7am isn't great but at least I was on my way home
just at London went over the edge of chaos due to a bit of snow.
What I find highly amusing is this year. The media went overboard with
warnings and doom stories about the snow and how the whole of UK was
set to collapse on itself. Loads of warning for snow that quite
frankly didn't arrive when it was due and when it did was just a bit
of a a light dusting. But still London Underground managed to collapse
on itself. I mean how can London Underground be taken seriously as a
transport provider when after loads of warnings about snow coming and
when a little bit did come it just keeled over and died on its arse.
Up here in Yorkshire where to be honest we didn't have much more snow
than London but it was more. All the main roads kept moving and
gritting meant no main roads the snow set. And the only accidents
because of snow was people in 4x4 vehicles who ignored the big red
signs saying "ROAD CLOSED" on dodgy roads and promptly crashed.
And of course in true L.U style LU has blamed everyone from the snow
to maitanince companies for the problems and of course it self was
blameless. But the question to ask is surely L.U. should ensure its
contractors and the people resonsible for keeping trains running in
the snow were ready for the snow and were caple of dealing with it.
Instead of LU moaning and whinging in the press about everyone else
screwing up maybe it should make sure that next year when it snows it
is sure the trains will still run.

Burnt Oak has had a *light* dusting. I live within a mile of Queensbury
tube staion but understand (from an email from TfL) the Jubilee Line had
no service between Wembley Park & Stanmore "due to adverse weather
conditions".

Pathetic!

There is now! There's loads. I was off today and there was some just before
11am and some when I got up.

Nothing on the west side of town in the morning - I was out in the garden!
Nothing until the blizzard at 16:40 (apart from a light dusting at 00:30
this morning which had gone by dawn).

There was certainly snow falling heavily in Essex this morning as I
drove to work.
I was most interested in LBC's 13.00 news item which said that tube
bosses admitted they were unprepared for the bad weather and no trains
at all ran on the underground during the morning peak.
I can't tell you how pleased I was to be reassured that it was only a
bad dream ;-)

A couple of flakes probably blew across the line which this being britain
of course means that trains immediately break down, points freeze, rails
break and so forth. God help this country if we ever really get severe weather
like they have in scandinavia or central & eastern europe. God knows what we'd
do.
