No, it's not.

I'm old enough to remember those smog days in winter,some times it was so bad bus conductors had to get off the bus and walk in front to show the way.

I can remember working at Heathrow when a 90b(good old RT in those days) going through the airport mistook a turning and ended up going down the taxi way going into the BOAC maintainence area in the fog/smog.

I can remember those as well. I think it was in 1956 or 1957 one was so bad that the buses from Chingford to Walthamstow stopped running, and we walked the four miles to school - visibility was no more than 5 yards, and there was no bus conductor to show us the way.

And if Ash sees this, I know that I've wandered way off topic, again!

Oh no you haven't Alan! In fact it's a very good point. Climate change and the "Clean Air Act", mean that those of us who clearly remember the fogs in the late 50's also remember snow and ice every winter and snow that settled thick down here in London too. My daughter, now 19, has only seen snow three times in her life where we live!

Youngsters writing Activities for routes set in the 30's through to the 60's would not believe how smoky, dirty and dismal the weather could be. With every house having open coal fires back then the air was pretty thick even when the weather wasn't foggy.

Great Shots! ....although I'd have thought they were just a typical Summer's Day if they'd had modern stock
