England - London - Commuter awaits bus in snow

As blue dawn light brightens to become another wintry day in south London a commuter awaits the arrival of a distant red bus to climb a slippery hill. Standing by the timetable of the bus stop on Red Post Hill in the borough of Southwark traffic approaches slowly on a road that controversially appears not to have been gritted properly for vehicles to maintain a proper grip on this snowy surface. Headlights point uphill and the freshly-fallen snow has started to freeze so wheel and tyre traction will prove ever-difficult for those trying to journey to work.
