			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The loudspeaker at London Bridge: &#8220;We apologise for the delays, train alterations and short notice delays at London Bridge. All trains in and out of London are currently delayed due to severe weather conditions.&#8221;</p>
<p>I was one of the few on the station, that were actually enjoying the bit of snow that we were blessed with today. However even in this happy state I could not resist to share some of the fury that everybody at the station were experiencing against the train service providers.</p>
<p>The train that I got on was only delayed by about half an hour, so I can be considered lucky and please don&#8217;t think that I&#8217;m complaining. Most of the people on the station though, were ranting about their services being canceled, or about having to wait for over an hour to get a train home. The delays were between 60 and 120 minutes (at least according to the loudspeaker).</p>
<p>How can a service that has been running for so many years, that employs &#8220;high level professionals&#8221; and that prides itself on the level of comfort which they provide to their customers fail so badly at being prepared for the centimetres of snow? It&#8217;s hilarious.</p>
<p>Armed with my little Nokia E71, I took the liberty of taking a few pictures of the view that I had while on the platform.</p>

<p>So, having seen the &#8220;Severe weather conditions&#8221;, what do you have to say about the failure?</p>
