Unfortunately RHTT operation is not the panacea for low adhesion that some may think. On many routes the only time it can be reliably pathed is overnight but any Sandite applied can be washed away by heavy rain. Which is the weather that has prevailed in the area today. As has been said some serious tree-felling provides a better solution which can last a few years but its impact does not always go down well with the "neighbours". It also requires staff and posessions to be arranged, and preferably daylight.
