Frankly, the novelty of snow has long since worn off for me but I couldn't ignore this lovely photo from the batch that Fergal Spelman kindly emailed in.

Travel misery for Greenwich train users

January 6, 2010 By Rob Powell

Greenwich passengers face a nightmare journey home today after Southeastern put together a revised timetable in order to cope with the snowfall and freezing temperatures.

A statement on the company website says:

"Freezing temperatures, snow and ice have been forecast over the next few days. To ensure we’re able to run the best service possible in these weather conditions a revised Metro and Mainline timetable will be in place from Wednesday 6 January 2010."

Tonight's final Southeastern service out of Cannon Street to Dartford, calling at Greenwich, Maze Hill, Westcombe Park and Charlton will depart at 19:47.

The news has angered many passengers, especially as the snow on the ground is not yet as bad as has been predicted.

Updated 21.16

Local MP, Nick Raynsford, described the Southeastern's train services as the "weakest link" in the local transport network and accused railway bosses of failing to learn the lessons of last February's snow.

In a letter to Charles Horton, the Managing Director of Southeastern Trains, Raynsford writes:

“This morning there were no problems with buses running through Greenwich & Woolwich; the DLR was running without delays and the Jubilee line through North Greenwich was running without incident. I understand from TFL that de-icing trains were run on overground tube lines to lessen the impact of the weather on the underground network.

You will, therefore, understand my dismay at hearing that trains run by Southeastern through the borough on Metro services were at a frequency of two per hour during rush hour despite the relatively light snow fall in South East London on the night of the 5th January. I am also quite taken aback to hear from Mike Gibson at Southeastern that the last train to Greenwich tonight will depart at 19.51.

Given that other forms of transport were running without problems it is unfortunate that overground rail services were the weak link in the network. Following the disruption from the snow last February I would have hoped that appropriate contingency plans would be in place to deal with snowfall to keep the network running. Given that the cold snap is forecast to continue for some time I hope that Southeastern will put a plan into place to keep the network running throughout the winter.”

Greenwich Park in the Snow

Happy New Year, everyone. I'm starting the year with a look back to Greenwich Park about a week before Christmas when Neil Clasper took this gorgeous photo of the park in the snow.

Daily Photo 06/02/09: Snowy Greenwich Pictures Day Five

February 6, 2009 By Rob Powell

I wasn't planning to run any more snow pictures this week, but then Stephen sent me a batch of gorgeous photos taken in Greenwich Park this week, so I thought I'd share a couple here and save the rest for when the snow is but a distant memory.

Greenwich Park under Snow 
Wow, stunning blue sky and that cold white floor below.


One of the best views in London, but with a dusting of snow added.

Thanks Stephen, for sharing your excellent pictures.
