Westfield shoppers face travel nightmare

Posted by Dan Hodges on Dec 22, 09 11:26 AM in People

Shoppers attempting late Christmas shopping at Westfield were trapped for hours in gridlocked streets last night as heavy traffic crawled its way through ice and snow.

Customers reported queues of up to two hours to get out of the car park of the shopping centre, with congestion backed up all the way from Shepherd's Bush to Hammersmith Broadway and down Fulham Palace Road.

One 29-year-old shopper, from Putney, said: "I waited for 40 minutes for a bus which didn't turn up, and a taxi refused to take me because the traffic was completely gridlocked. It was a nightmare."
