According to the Downing Street spokesman in the Lobby today:
Councils have been told by Transport Secretary Lord Adonis to cut salt-spreading by up to 50%.
As this risks making road travel less safe isn't this a perfect opportunity for the TOCs and NR to work together so as to generate some additional traffic?
Providing, of course, intending passengers can actually reach their local stations...
UPDATE: This genius solution from Tom West...
Surely the obvious thing is to persuade councils to only grit the side of the road leading *to* railway stations.
WTF?
