Derry Alli Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I was hit by a wheelie bin about 11 last night on my way to Bothwell. Genuinely thought it was a deer, saw something in the corner of my eye bounce twice then just rattle the bonnet of the van. Pulled over to fi d that it was the yellow wheelie bind you see at the side of motorways. A massive branch about 7ft on my way back to Dundee then another call out in Aberdeen seen me avoiding all matter of fallen branches and trees. Got home at nearly 4am. Not going in today. They can sook ma plooms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have thought since the Tay Rail Bridge disaster happened in 1879, that the train/network operators might have developed a few better solutions than canning every train running when it gets a little breezy.

101 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If network rail can't opporate the rail infrastructure safely during yellow warnings then they need they heads wobbled. Otherwise we are going to be in shut down every winter for weeks on end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 There's your trains off across the whole of Scotland again, despite the weather warning only affecting Western and Northern parts of Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clangers Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The yellow warning covers all of Scotland it’s the Amber that’s the NW. This happened only last month in a yellow area. As an employer the rail companies have to consider its staff health and safety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
