SPECIAL NOTICE

Seasonal Weather Warning

Advance reports from Network Rail weather specialists indicate that the Southern region may experience more adverse autumnal conditions during the coming few days.

To remind you, this may lead to the trees shedding their leaves and you experiencing low rail adhesion conditions.

No shit Sherlock!

Slip sliding away

First reports of poor railhead adhesion are coming in following the winds of the last 24 hours.

According to those out on the track the wet summer means that the leaves are "big and juicy".

The industry will be watching with interest to see how Network Rail and the Infracos' plans for leaf fall 2008 measure up.
