Because Aslef insisted it's members could not risk walking on snow to get to the trains.

The poor luvvies.

I have a picture somewhere of my friends son who is a ticket inspector,and the train driver shovelling snow trying to get the train through from Colchester to Walton On The Naze. This happened in Benters a few years back now we had so much snow that particular winter it was unreal.

How times have changed.

how are the trains running in your country? seems odd to get your knickers in a twist about public transport regulations in a foreign land!

As someone who volunteers on a heritage railway, this potentially makes a lot of sense.

If any of the walking route to the stabled units/locomotives would have involved walking over snow-covered railway infrastructure, then I'd suggest that the drivers were well within their rights to advise that they could not safely walk to their cabs.

Walking over ballast, sleepers, cables, and signalling equipment can be challenging at the best of times, and that's in good visibility where you can see where you're putting your feet. Trying to do it with snow cover would be suicidal.

The Heil article (sorry!) rather helps to give the additional context to all of this:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14257257/Train-services-cancelled-rail-

Clearly depot staff didn't do their jobs overnight, and walkways were left in a dangerous condition. Rather than fixing the problem, to cause minimal disruption, managers went running to the Heil so that they could rail against unions.

It wouldn't surprise me if the managers then delayed clearing the walkways, so that just enough delays would be caused to provoke anger towards the drivers and the unions.

What this whole scenario should serve as, is an advert for the clear benefits of union membership.

I'm convinced the reason trains are so expensive in this country is the cost of all the Delay Repay compensation that pays out.

Why was it once beautiful and it's not any longer?

Not that you'll reply, I've asked you about 5 questions this week and you've ignored them all favouring instead to have very thinly veiled pops at immigrants and talk up people like Farage.
