Dozens of buses stranded on the Fulham Road in London. Our first real snow in years!! February 1st 2009. The snow had compacted and frozen to the road making it like a skating rink. This was before most of the snow had fallen later in the day.

  • Grat idea for preventing snow in London! Build a big wall around the whole city and fill it with water! Then we could all enjoy a holiday without hearing how great London is and Oi Oi every 3 seconds.

    4" of snow!!! London GROW A SET.

  • That isn't even 1cm of of snow, thats a sprinkling, what a joke!

  • Theres some light frost! Quick abandon all buses, run for your lives!

  • LOL @ people getting mad about complete strangers problems.

  • Central London usually has around 8-9 days of lying snow per year. Generally all from E'lies or NE'lies. In recent winters, around 3-4 days of lying snow had become the norm. February 2009's snowfalls affected SE England so badly as it was generally the snowiest in 18 years (Feb 1991). There was a foot of snow in December 2010 in parts of South Essex, that is a lot for any parts in lowland Britain. Generally accumulations of an inch or two in C London is regarded as a blessing from 1991-2009. :)

  • @3DDDs You forget about the ice. The snow might not look like alot, but the ice could be extremely dangerous.

  • There had been no gritting on the roads, The snow came down and froze. The buses are automatic and were unable to move without sliding into the kerbs. If they grit the roads the buses will keep moving.

  • "The snow had compacted and frozen to the road" Sorry but I'm looking at this and theres like one layer of snow down on that road, its easily drivable on that, just a sign of the lack of ability to handle snow in England.... Or more specifically, London. At least in Scotland the whole country doesn't grind to a halt with one layer of snow, like is shown in this video

  • @3DDDs tbf most countries that get alot of snow are used to it and deal with it more effieciently, like we're so used to the rain ect, but we hardly get snow so it can get overwhelming

  • Bus Drivers these days dare not have a bump of any kind regardless of who is at fault because their bosses come down on them like a ton of bricks and keep any incident on file for future reference.

  • @benchod94 but am i the one who got t

    swearing problems no :) and did i say i lived in central london no i didnt i said my area coped the snow pretty well not london

  • @Ben78177 you are the ones having "hissy fits" over 1 cm of snow

    piss of stupid wanker
