The worst winter weather for 30 years saw further transport disruption across London. British Airways cancelled a number of flights at Heathrow and passengers were warned to expect delays. Passengers were urged to confirm with their airline that their flight was operating before travelling to the airport. On the railways, Channel Tunnel high-speed company Eurostar was running a restricted service in and out of London.
The company said its engineers were still trying to get to the bottom of the problem that caused a Eurostar train to halt in the tunnel for two hours on Thursday. Eurostar has said that the problem was different to the snow-related fault that caused thousands of passengers to be stranded on broken-down trains in the tunnel before Christmas and which resulted in no services for three days.
On domestic routes, many train companies were operating to revised schedules with a reduced service operated between London and Leeds on the East Coast Main Line. Some morning and evening rush-hour trains were cancelled by the Southern train company, while South West Trains also axed some services, including Guildford to Ascot and London to Dorking. There were some delays and diversions for London bus passengers, but the Tube – which has generally run well during the cold snap – had no problems on any lines.
