Default W&C suspended?

IS this another BBC foul up.


I don't think so.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7864315.stm@ 11:08 saying
W&C suspended, but the TfL site says good service.


It was suspended until after 10am. I don't think the BBC news page
should be regarded as a live travel update service in the way that the
TfL offers.

W&C is one of the few lines I would have thought would be almost
completely unaffected by snow - unless the drivers couldn't get there!


I should think that's why it didn't start until after 10am.



Well you are quite right, I too would not regard a BBC news page as a
live travel update service, but of all the lines, they chose to
mention the W&C. It just struck me as odd.

Could the W&C be relatively easily and cheaply automated? I'm sure
drivers don't find it the most inspiring of routes.

Cheers,
