Got a text from my friend over from Bulgaria - he flies in for a meeting four times a year to Luton, he's been travelling for hours already to get here. On arrival, the whole rail network in that area of the country is down - you can't get from the airport to anywhere except by replacement bus! Normally there's a train into London and on to us but no, not today.
How utterly annoying is that, that's the whole weekend and his travel plans are such and timings in place mean that he may not get to us at all.If I was to set out now it would take me a few hours to reach him and by then he may have made it someway towards London!
I fear we are becoming a third world country as it just seems to get worse. I recall the odd disruption but shutting down huge swathes. It's disappointing as he may not even make it now - if it takes too long he will have to turn around and go back to catch his flight home!
I see that not only Luton but Stansted are also affected - that's both airports north of London. Who plans this stuff?
