If this is the case, it's absolutely scandalous!! It was a mild morning this morning, (12c when I left the house at 07:00) refusing to move the unit due to "no heater" is utterly unbelievable. It's not like the driver was being asked to do a whole turn without heating.
I hope FGW▸ management are as mad as I am about this!!!
I'm sure most people would be pretty cheesed off if they had to work in an office that was 12'c. There is apparently a minimum temperature for working, unless you are employed as an outside worker that covers the UK▸ , and from memory I was told it is around 16'C or 17'C

Thoughts are with all those affected,
My brother drove where the accident was less than 30 mins before the accident returning back to Cornwall. He commented how the fog was so thick he couldnt see the front of his car, and people were still driving at ridiculous speed.
regarding above commenter whether the speed limit is 70 or 80 i believe is irrelevant here, as in such weather conditions common sense is required that it is unsafe to do even 70!

All across the Great Western territory / Fare's Fair / Re: Penryn Truro Season Ticket

Definitely good prices down here, ^45 to travel a 10-12 mile journey for 5 weeks is incredible value, especially when you factor in ^4-5 a day for all day car parking in truro! Within 7-8 days of travel you'll be cheaper than petrol and parking. Free car parking at Penryn station as well. Makes good sense as a park and ride for people of Falmouth, just a shame theres only about 10 spaces at Penryn Station!
