won't move! Quick, lets blame the power supply and make it sound like its
someone elses fault!"

So how would you describe a problem where the snow/ice prevents the power
from getting from the rail to train?

Its wasn't a power supply problem, the power supply was fine. Its a power
collection problem arising not from equipment defect but from a wetware
defect inbetween the ears of LU managers and staff. The correct announcement
should have been "We ignored the weather forecast because we're ****wits and
now our trains are snowed in"
