Network Rail and the ToC's have been warning for at least 72 hours that disruption is expected. There is a blanket 55 mph speed limit on all the network, all planned work had been cancelled to have crews ready for incidents, Power failures and line blockages are expected. Currently three out of 6 routes in or out of Guildford are blocked.
YOu cant blame the rail industry, they have done as much as possible, This is probably the best planned storm we have had as there was quite a bit of advanced warning and it was nationwide in scope.
