774  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Problems with IET trains from April 2021 on: May 19, 2021, 04:26:14
Just a thought on salt,I noticed over the years platform staff never brushed  snow onto the tracks any more.
The snow is now brushed away from the platform edges.
In the not much electric days of engines and coache's(STEAM) the snow from the platforms and the tracks would just collect underneath and eventually melt and drop off
Now with so much electrics I presume network MIGHT have isued a directive that snow is not now allowed to be brushed onto the tracks
