I'm surprised no such thing is around here yet! Remember a landslide and sunny weather being excuses for delays? Or… owls? Here's something I found today that beats it all so far: Let's laugh together and share more  Is that not a genuine reason? Bearing in mind it was raining earlier? |

I'm surprised no such thing is around here yet! Remember a landslide and sunny weather being excuses for delays? Or… owls? Here's something I found today that beats it all so far: Let's laugh together and share more So you'd rather a train was in service that when it rained, as it did earlier today, the driver could not see out of the window to see the signals or tracks and then had a crash? Would you be happy to be in a bus or a car where the wipers were not working and where the driver could not drive safely? It is far, far too easy for people who have little or no knowledge to mock and ridicule what are actually perfectly justified and sensible rules to protect public safety. Exactly the same rule applies on the Underground on those lines which have surface running. It behoves all of us not to "rip the p*ss" out of the rules that people have to follow in their jobs. You never know when we might actually benefit from them. How many people end up with problems because someone broke / bent the rules or didn't know what to do but carried on anyway? Endless examples across all industries litter the history books. |

Although I'm not a driver, I certainly wouldn't go out with faulty wipers be it a train, car, wheelbarrow, etc. - the windscreen becomes too treacherous to see through and visibility gets reduce which can be extremely dangerous. |
