The resilience of UK transport infrastructure and services during periods of adverse winter weather has improved, but more must be done to strengthen the sector’s winter preparedness, said the cross party Transport Select Committee in
the House of Commons, the parliament’s lower house.

“Disruption to transport is not just caused by snow. We saw recently the impact of severe storms and flooding on transport services. At Gatwick, thousands of passengers were stranded over the Christmas period due to a power failure
during stormy weather.”
