It must be galling when you're trynig to go out on the piste to get held up by snow at a British airport. I remember we were trynig to get to Madeira in May and Gatwick was shutdown because of snow. We got away after a few hours after not much information and even less welfare, and then because of the delays we hit terrible weather over the Atlantic and could not land due to tropical storms. At least they put us up for the night on another island and took us back to Gatwick the next day [arriving past midnight] but all claims for compensation [extra hotel costs and meals] were deftly driven into the long grass. The fragility of the rail system is due to it running in excess of capacity for much of the time and the lack of alternative or diversionary routes for when things go wrong.Posted 5 December 2012 at VN:F [1.9.22_1171]0 - 0
