Ridiculous. More “socialist companies” that can’t deliver on time. Get the private sector involved to get proper results.
We’re a country that’s optimised for mild inconvenience. Leaves are a moderate inconvenience.
Quite cool to understand *how* they affect the trains though – TIL!
I love how they made a video about being ready for the leafy season 😅
The “end of January”.
Leaves in England’s green and pleasant land? What a shock!
“It will be over by Christmas”
Why don’t they use a simple brush system at the front of the trains to remove the leaves? They only need a very small arm above each track with a brush on a spring. They could even have it able to be raised and lowered when needed, seems like a no brainer that could save a ton of time and money.

A summary of why it’s an issue

This year the leaves stayed on the trees until very late then all arrived at more or less the same time
Very cool informative video but goddamn remove that fucking music mate it adds nothing.
