Default A Little Bit of Snow and No Service

So why did the Metropolitan Line not have any service?

Everyone knew the bad weather was coming - so why were they not
prepared?

I heard on the radio that someone claimed the problem was caused by
engineering taking place last night and one company doing the work not
letting another company clear the snow. Does anyone know if this was
the reason for the problems?


Under the PPP contracts, the infracos, not LUL, decide whether to run sleet
trains. I couldn't comment on such commercially sensitive matters ;-)
