Travel is messy today. this map shows, in colour, lines that are having delays. It's a real-time map, so it'll change throughout the day.

Yeah.

Right now? The Hammersmith & City line is okay, as is the DLR. The Waterloo & City is alright too but no surprise as it's entirely underground. There are four additional lines running with only minor delays; the rest have severe delays.

I think I'm entitled to whinge at this one. It's less than 5cm of snow, and nobody can go anywhere. Ridiculous. And I did put it behind a cut, so serves you absolutely right if you didn't want to read it.

At least the TFL website can cope with the traffic. That's more than I can say for National Rail.

I suppose that the other way of viewing this is that it would be a waste of a lot of time and money to make services (nearly anything in fact) able to cope with snow. We don't get enough snow and we don't get it very often and most people are quite happy to see it was a welcome break from grey-rain and have a good old british moan about how dreadful everything is and with stiff upper lips just try and muddle through.

Really, we enjoy this kind of thing. But seriously, I don't really care if snow == transport stops since it hardly ever snows and it is all part of the fun. If you are lucky you get a day off school too (because of the transport thing) and this means you get to make a snowman!
