Hey your problems are too serious, in France, each autumn, we'll get delays because of tree leaves on the tracks! (in addition to the cold/storm/hot problems) From what I understood, the leaves increase braking distances, so the trains have to be slowed.
- mschuster91 9y ago> in France, each autumn, we'll get delays because of tree leaves on the tracks! Yeah we get these too, but that's just delays, not the complete shutdown of the entire country's railroad system for sometimes days like last autumn after storm Xavier.
- baud147258 9y agoQuite true. I think I was lucky since I avoided the worst of the latest storm. I just had a lot of delays on my first day of work this year: they had a tree fallen on the tracks, but they had managed to keep a few trains rolling.
- himlion 9y agoThat's a yearly issue in the Netherlands as well. They even have special sweeper cars.
