Not sure that's right. There are two routes that come through ED - timetable 33 on that link seems to show trains every 10 minutes through rush hour. Unless I'm missing something, it looks like a normal service is planned. Of course, if there is snow, there won't be any trains back home though....

Timetable 33 at http://www.southernrailway.com/your-journey/plan-my-journey/temporary-timetable-b shows trains from both Croydon and Beckenham Junction (headnote K), four per hour at non-peak times, more in rush hour.

peckhamboy's right, rahrahrah was just looking at one of the routes that goes via ED.

Trains not bad so far.

Thameslink was running fine this morning (better than normal!). The gritters were out and about as well, gritting side roads and pavements round the Bellenden Rd area, not just the main bus routes. I don't know if they're expecting particularly heavy snow or if they just have more grit and are more organised than normal.

Wrong type of Snow Reporting. - Oh dear its going to snow lets prevent disruption by closing entire lines. Fantastic. It would be a bit like running away if War is declared.
