Given this is utl, I feel compelled to point out that the latter comment
is a rather 'north of the river' centric one - third-rail railways and
snow aren't a great combination!

OTOH the third rail doesn't have a habit of falling down in high winds!
Its a pity we don't use underside 3rd rail in this country more as then the
snow issue would be solved plus higher voltages could be used to boot. I think
the DLR is the only system in britain that uses it.
