Going Green: We need to invest to future proof our railways
Our journey time doubled as we were diverted onto slower trains that stopped in every station and had a speed limit on them of 50 miles per hour because of high winds. I had used my family railcard and we were able to read and snack on board so I don’t regret opting for the train over our car, especially as disruption on the roads is even more common.
But my experience will be all too familiar to many leisure travellers and commuters. Just last month, Storm Isha caused issues with Avanti West Coast, Trans Penine Express, LNER, Cross Country and Scot Rail.
