Very heavy snow on the line and waiting for 37667 + snowplopugh to do its work. Nothing significant as far as 66048 was concerned - it didn't fail or anything.

Write to Chief Inspector Andrew Trotter , quoting his message to all Chief Constables and ask a few awkward questions about why it has not been heeded, what he intends to do to change the situation such that it is in future, an estimate of how long he expects before every officer has briefed on...
