'Hot and Cold' is one of the less opprobrious names for the Hammersmith and City Line (H&C). This is Goldhawk Road Station during the heavy snow on the 18th December 2010. Heavy snow tends to prevent good contact between the electric conductor rail and the pick-up shoes on the trains, and the service on the line was suspended just a few minutes after this picture was taken.
