Have you noticed how often over the past few years we have suffered "Once in 100 years" or "Once in 50 years" weather? It is time everyone woke up to the fact that extremes of weather are becoming more and more commonplace, whatever the cause.
Also, one of the biggest complaints from travellers is the woeful public relations displayed by airports, airlines and rail operators. A full review of information dissemination is needed, and if the big travel operators aren't prepared to put resources into it, they should be forced to do so.
