Hip, do concentrate!
Fact is weather like this causes severe difficulties in all industries that rely on transport and the ensuing backlogs are often slow to clear, particularly just before Christmas when everything is so busy.
Swiss railways. The big difference is that they planned the system to work that way from the sleepers upwards, bought equipment designed to cope and are manned and trained sufficiently to do the job. But at what cost? Our systems generally manage reasonably well I think, its just when an unexpected 5 times the usual rain/snow/drought/wind happens things go pear-shaped, If Swiss rail plans to cope with a 3m snowfall I expect they'd be bolllixed too if the got hit with 15. Not so?
ps. carying a parcel from A to B is a delivery, a postman's job. It is no more "logistics" than a Big Issue seller is a publishing magnate.
