Southern train company says London-bound services from Kent and Sussex were disrupted by dew getting on tracks
9 February 2011
After the wrong kind of snow and leaves on the line, train users have been given a new reason for delays – dew on the tracks.
London-bound commuters on services run by Southern train company were surprised to hear that their journeys were being delayed by "poor railhead conditions" – despite the mildness of the weather and autumn being months away.
A Southern spokeswoman said: "This is a railhead phenomenon that happens at this time of the year. Dew gets on the tracks and makes conditions difficult."
The problem caused delays for some early-morning commuters from the Uckfield area of Sussex, while services from Godstone and Tonbridge in Kent were also affected.
