Well, this is true. We have been told there is at least one other storm on the way this week, and then what? I don't really see the GW line ever being closed, at least not for the time being anyway....

The porblem is that an extra one million passengers are not going to be enticed with a 6% fare rise. The DFT would be better off leaving the fares as they are (or cutting them in fact) which will...
