Carl Eddleston, TfL's Director for Network Management and Resilience, said: "We know the snow has caused some issues this morning and we are sorry for any disruption. We have well-rehearsed plans and procedures which we have enacted in partnership with all London boroughs and the emergency services to keep the capital moving during the colder weather. This has reduced the impact of the weather on our network.
