Warnings that Britain would be thrown into travel chaos by the 'Beast from the East' cold snap this evening have been mocked by commuters on social media who insisted train firms and authorities overreacted to forecasts. A yellow warning has been put in place for vast swathes of the UK as meteorologists said the country could be hit by the worst cold weather since 1991. Up to 6in of snow is expected to blanket the South East, Midlands and North East tomorrow morning, while 8in could fall on Wednesday. Earlier today, hundreds of thousands of commuters in the South East travelling home from London were told to complete their journeys by 6pm to ensure they get home, but many went online to ask what all the fuss was about. One woman (inset) wrote: 'Pleased to report the predicted Armageddon if you dared travel after 6pm didn't happen #Southeastern #gotmyusualtrain.' Photographs taken in London's busiest stations also appeared to show a normal number of commuters waiting for trains (left is Victoria station this afternoon). Right: Punters take to the water in Cambridge despite the warnings of severe weather.
