Bad weather stopped trains and planes

Freazing weather stopped trains and planes, ruining people's Christmas plans and causing loss of more than thousands pounds.

On 18th December, the train from Canterbury to London was forced to stop in the middle of the journey. One of the railway carriage was left in the track for unknown problem. No heating and no light inside, passengers has waited for another train to pick them up for more than two hours.

"It is freezing." One of the passengers says, "They first tell us to wait for the next train for about half an hour, and then they say they cannot make it because there is no signal; and we have to wait for another one hour an half, it is awful."

Train is not the only traffic tool that is affected by the bad weather. Lots of plans are suspended and even cancelled for the big snow. Since now it is the Christmas time, thousands of people have to reconsider their travelling plan.

Forecasters said that the cold snap would last into the middle of this week but were unable to say whether it would continue over Christmas.
