The Snowplough Cometh...

For the second time this year the snowplough was dragged out from the back of the shed to attempt to clear the fluffy stuff, but as usual (even with more lead added) the staff of the SLR(N) gave up due to the sheer depth therefore all services are suspended until further notice (shades of Eurostar)!

Staff prepare 'Mildred' the snowplough

The main obstacle preventing reopening

No chance!

The isolated village of Waterslack.

Jake has a go at clearing Heversham platform!

I've lived in this house for over 20 years and have never seen so much snow!

Even though, I've been living in Wales for 9 years now, and the most I've seen is 3 1/2 foot - 4 foot of snow!

Great stuff, although I have the engine you probably should of been using...

And a fine job it made of clearing the ANLR

Brill, that bridge did look pretty dire. Oh well, atleast no trains broke down for unexplained reasons in tunnels....
