Ladies and Gents laugh as much as you like but the leaves on the line is a serious problem,

We (other operators are available) run sandite and the RHTT to try and combat the problem but does'nt always work. It is very frightning to apply your brakes and your speedo drops to zero and you are still doing 75mph because your wheels have locked up and sliding.
