Uninitialized, Didn't seem to have THAT carry - on with Steam locomotives except in EXTREMELY SEVERE Weather Conditions Eg Winter of 1947 especially. Otherwise Steam locomotive drawn trains were More Reliable than their Modern replacements.

Uninitialized, i've delayed a train, when staff weren't informed of me needing Ramp assistance to get off, as the station i got on at were distracted, As I discussed later, sometimes the Staff has been i formed of the Wrong end of the train, till a Passenger informs them I'm up the other end, I've even been Missed completely, But as a Rule , the Staff are Fabulous, & Helpful. Thank you To the Staff

An explanation of snow and leaves delaying trains. Snow accumulates in the braking mechanism rendering the brakes ineffective, therefore drivers have to test brakes every 3 to 5 minutes depending on severity of the snow. Leaves when crushed under wheels leave an oily substance on the railhead making it very hard to stop trains and get up to speed hence both causing delays.

I drive trains on the uk network.. yes sometimes it is the TOCs fault they run late,, but the majority of delays is down to other befitting factors... the public have no idea.

British trains hardly ever run on time, maybe a few more volts would help!
