It looks like there's a lot of weather about in London this evening - the tubes are, predictably, all messed up (the TFL real-time disruption map, where disrupted lines are coloured and others are grey, looks mostly like a normal tube map). London Bridge station, according to the reputable
ciphergoth, is falling apart, and therefore may be closed. And the surface trains are all delayed too.
In the rest of the country, there's heavy snow in Scotland, and so far, according to the BBC, the storms have claimed seven lives, mostly from falling trees, falling walls and high-sided vehicles.
If you're driving, please drive carefully. If you're not, and you live in London, good luck getting home ...
EDIT: Apparently the trams in Croydon are thoroughly snarfed by fallen trees, too.

Still howling winds, though.
I'm told KX and Euston are also closed.

Fallback plan - Get to Stratford, trains too broken. Start walking. It's only 10-odd miles, shouldn't take more than a couple of hours.

I slept through the whole storm, woke up at four and screamed "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL HAS HAPPENED TO MY GARDEN???!!!???" [grin]

It may be a somewhat lengthy peregrination.
Ahem. Until four? [cough]

Poor love-hope you get back ok in the end. If it proves impossible, do you have anywhere you could get to that you could crash? There is room here, but it's not the most convenient of places and it's not very nice, either... [grin]

Oh, don't even get me started on my sleep cycle at the moment. It's really, really, really fucking bothering me.

Other than that, lots of fallen branches which people are just driving around. River's flooded in York predictably too..

That's good.
What, the Ouse flooded in Spring? But ... but ... that never happens! [grin]

It could've been a lot worse though.
I believe the trams aren't running from Merton to Wimbledon - I don't know about the Addington route.

So at least that bit was quicker than normal, eh?
