I am glad someone has mentioned the weather at last, and the chaos it

cancelled without a single word of advice or apology.

A complete shambles - we can only pray for global warming if this was
the best they could do!



No, the tracks bend out of shape when it's too warm :-)

How about making a Travel News forecast:
Summer: Severe delays. Speed restrictions due to hot weather.
Autumn: Severe delays due to rain causing flooding and landslips.
Winter: Severe delays due to snow on the rails causing braking problems.
Spring: Good service?

;-)

Spring: Severe delays due to strike action.
