Heavy snow brings London to a halt

Feb 2 - Heavy snow brought much of London's transport to a halt on Monday with airport runways forced to close and all bus and many train services suspended.

Hundreds of commuters battled to get into work as snowstorms caused travel chaos across the country.

The agency, Transport for London said all London buses -- which would normally carry six million people on an average day -- had been withdrawn from service "due to adverse weather and dangerous road conditions" and reported problems on all but three of the capital's eleven underground train lines.
