My local railway station 1959. Today, only a light dusting of snow but not one train ran when there should have been 2 every hour from 6am until 11pm.

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

Our back yard last night - 5 or 6 miles from Edinburgh Airport. As you can see from the table over a foot of snow has accumulated. Edinburgh is now boarding 7 flights including the first Jet2 of the season to Faro. It's expected to leave 4+ hours late at 14:45. Ryanair, Easyjet and others have abandoned Edinburgh for the day. Edit: After several hours wait the Jet2 flight was cancelled. That must has been fun for the passengers. |

Problems in Scotland also with trains cancelled in many places. I was BR salaried staff from 1962 to 68 (ended in Glasgow Central) and things were indeed completely different ... because signals and points were mainly mechanical and are now electro/mechanical, plus there were thousands of spare carriages and engines, plus line staff to fix things, where today there are few or none. To run a train, or an aircraft, they have to be in the right place at the right time, with crew and a clear route ... sometimes needing little miracles. I also travelled to Railway school in Dunbar in early 1963 .. where they had to dig a tunnel through 4 foot high snow from station to main street ... but the trains was on time !

Tonbridge early 1980's as I recall. I took this. Note diesel locomotive pulling an electric train. We were snowed in for days. Staff couldn't get to the depots or stations, I could barely get out of my front door which was 200 yards from where I stood, camera in hand. Don't get the weather we used to.
