A study by the University of Southampton and Network Rail, forecasts that wet winters and hot summers will become more common over the next fifty years as a result of global warming and that the UK rail network is at risk from this.
One hopes that railway managers and the government will take note of the report and act accordingly. On the other hand, will these sort of events just give some railway operators more excuses to explain why our trains are late?
We’ve had the leaves (and cows) on the track excuse, overhead power lines down due to high winds as well as the wrong type of snow complaint, but global warming?
Groan!
