Although this may have technically been the worst for 18 years there wasn't THAT much snow and the same chaos reigns whenever there is ANY snow. personally I don't think it's all that much to do with spendina fortune on dedicatd teams waiting to leap out and deal with it whenever it happens but a few sensible measures that people have just forgotten about. for example my local overground station (whcih is entirely outdoor) had no grit and the staff evidently had no brishes or shovels to clear the platform of snow and ice (and this was on tuesday) surely these items are pretty basic bits of kit that could help keep london moving
