Kells Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm impressed, Southend to Brixton! I walked into work, but it's only Camberwell. And then they told us to go home early, in case we get stuck there (granted, not quite as early as I did, but hey ho) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5122-will-tomorrow-also-be-a-snow-day/page/2/#findComment-164375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelie Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I work in St James's, but no buses and no trains and the only person who did make it in to the office today had no work to pass on so I think almost no-one made it in. The agency that I work for also seems to be largely absent as my email to them has gone unanswered. My mother tells me that when she was working in the 60s for the Civil Service if you lived within 5 miles of your workplace you were expected to walk in and no excuses were accepted. Whilst being largely in agreement with that, I don't fancy risking breaking my ankles (or anything else).It would be helpful to know if public transport will be back up and running tomorrow.What makes me really angry is that LB Southwark made no effort whatsoever to grit the roads/pavements at this end of ED and there is still no sign of any gritters or snowploughs, despite having 5 days' warning.

macroban Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Excellent news.It must be above zero out there and the snow is disappearing quickly.There's a good chance that public transport will be back to normal in the morning.

cEDric Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Got into work in Canary Wharf no bother. 185 bus to Lewisham and then DLR. Waited no longer than usual and as there were no kids due to schools being closed the bus was less busy. Totally painless, though there were a lot of people who obviously don't normally get the bus, including one chap who asked me as we pulled into Lewisham whether it went on to Victoria - he'd got on it in the wrong direction.

Jeremy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Journey on the bus took about double the usual time for me.As of this morning, it looked like there had been no efforts to clear the train tracks.
