Don't know if this has been mentioned but a programme called "Emergency! Trains v weather " is on later.

Thought it highlighted the problem that is faced by the inclement weather, particularly the heavy snow in Scotland.
The bit that amused me most was the under-exaggeration of the Scottish Orange Army guy with the train stuck in the water when he called it a "puddle". It was about 5 foot deep, and goodness knows how long!

Can anybody find an alternative way to watch this programme? I can't get ITV player to play for more than about 3 minutes at a time without restarting the programme.

Tune your television onto channel 3/103?
I'm sure the Authorities would love me to tune my television onto ITV without a TV License...

Yeah, those "detector vans" will be round within minutes :roll::roll:
The fact a crime won't be detected doesn't make it any less a crime. I don't suppose you would tell someone to ride a train without a ticket "because they never check"?
According to TV Licensing it is still a criminal offence - not sure if the page is out of date as I remember discussion about making it a civil matter.

I don't know how you access ITV Player, but on Android ITV Player was replaced by ITV Hub very recently.

Is it on YouTube by any chance? I've sometimes found them on there but might be a little soon yet.

Since when did a class 37 have "a staggering 17 000 horsepower" under its 1962 built hood?

Good to see some class 37 action. Interestingly the one doing the ploughing still in Intercity livery.
Didn't know about the NR spotter copter. Impressive the way they use thermals to detect faults in overhead line equipment.

I wonder if the Network Rail helicopter has a TOPS number?

Was it me or when they did the tree cutting along the highlands with the WCRC 37, I'm sure the front ariel was fine and then I noticed it was bent, or was it like that in the first place?

Especially in the snow with those pathetic little wipers. God knows how the driver see obstructions or the signals.
