Here We Go Again…

Here we go again. Winter is fast approaching and the weather is on the turn.
We have had quite a bit of rain recently. Not unusual for England I hear you say. Why is it then, that if we are so used to having wet weather, does our transport infrastructure fall apart with the first downpour?
The other evening we had some rain. The whole of my home town came to a standstill. All the roads just jammed up for no apparent reason!!
Travelling to London we have had flooded tube stations and trains not running!
Come on England! After this many years we should be prepared for all this. After all, we pay in enough to use our cars and public transport. Where is all that money going?
