Storm Doris...
...Wreaks havoc on the East Coast Main Line.
Mrs Alcazar went to London for her work today...or rather, she didn't.
Her train from Doncaster was cancelled, she caught a MUCH later train, but ended up held outside Peterborough station, no trains running south of there.
Their train sat for ages, before being allowed in, she's now on another on her way back, having missed an appointment at Government offices.
This country, eh? Not even much of a storm, by world standards, but the UK grinds to a halt, yet again. What are we like?
Oh...and it's hit a hundred miles further south than the MetOffice predicted. What are THEY like?
Mind, I did see an amusing Facebook post:
Due to bad weather in the UK today, southerners are advised not to travel.
Northeners: you might need your big coat.
LOL

Not Doctor Foster?
BTW: Already seen three pics on FB of lorries driving straight past the signs which
are lit up, saying, "Humber Bridge closed to high sided vehicles"....and onto the bridge.
Were Dumberside Police there to meet 'em with a fine? You bet not..........

It's like a bike; the faster you go the less likely you are to fall over sideways.
