We are all being delayed/affected/irritated by the snow this week. It is evidently a fact of life that, in Britain, especially London and the South East, our public transport will not be able to effectively deal with the snow for the foreseeable future.
The headlines across the newspapers all report doom and gloom – the ineffectiveness of our transport system, the devastating effects to the retail industry (because shoppers cannot physically get to Oxford Street) and the billions that will be lost each day because commuters cannot get to work.
