But you were saying in the GNER/HEAT thread only the other
day "Well apparently part of the problem is not enough
gravel/stones." So do you want to take all the ballast
away so that kids don't have any stones to throw, or do
you want the trains to run?


I was actually talking about the huge chunks of concrete,
pieces of wood which are littered along the track and kids
love to put on to train lines to see the trains smash them
(especially in the Worthing area). Maybe if L.U. and other
train companies explained to us exactly why the heat poses
a problem (other that "Metal expands when its hot). And
provided exact information about how this will effect us.
And provided relief from the inconvenience. We wouldn't
grab at random straws thrown at us from the media.


Why not save yourself some stress and anguish and stop clutching. By so
doing it may even come to pass that the press stop throwing them at you.
