Rush Hour in the Snow


On the afternoon of 28 January 2004, just as rush hour started the snow came down. Here East Thames VWL14 (LB02 YXW) on route 132 is at Eltham Station picking up a crowd, they wouldn't be going anywhere fast however. If they were expecting a ride to the High Street it would be quicker to walk.

Just around the corner from the station in Well Hall Road is Metrobus 289 (SN03 YCT) on route 233. The road is jam packed with traffic all the way to Eltham High Street. VWL14 can be seen in the distance not having got very far.

Metrobus 289 on route 233 in Eltham High Street. behind is VWL14 having taken 30 minutes to get this far. The rest of the road is not any better. The first part of the reg of 289 is SN03 which seems apt for the situation.
