I'm really surprised at the complete failure of the Railway on this occasion. Down in Tonbridge there are both GBRf and Amec depots. Their specific Winter task is to run Deicers and Ghost Trains 24/7 to keep the conductor rail working.

And yet not a single service train ran through there on the first day of snow - which wasn't even high enough to cover the third rail.

Why did the system fail so badly ?
