According to Howard Collins, COO of London Transport, buses were taken off

I don't know what conditions were like last night, so this may or may
not be justified. *It isn't justified that there is no service in
central London this morning.


Things were starting to get messy last night. Lots of sirens
presumably because of lots of smashes on the roads - I saw one.
Conditions in central London should not be taken as being indicative
of those elsewhere.


Travel West Midlands (not normally an organisation capable of giving
advice to London) are running this morning, at least on the main roads
and certainly with delays. Of course, I'm up here today and not in
London so can't fully compare conditions. However, there's more snow
here than we've had for a long time.

A blanket removal of buses seems unjustified to my (largely untrained)
mind. London needs to be able to get around.
