Billy Jean King Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Or perhaps a sober risk assessment eliminated the risk of the substantial consequences of an incident Kilwinnig apparently. Won't be trains on the Ayr / Largs lines for a good while going by that. Could have been deadly so for that alone the preventative action was justified, probably saved lives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Damned if they do. Damned if they don't.

A tree being blown onto the line at Kilwinning is not actually the smoking gun justification for shutting down every single line in the country south of Aberdeen on a 'just in case' basis, that people somehow think it is. This wagon-circling desperation to defend Scotrail's non-existent honour is no doubt related to their imminent transfer to government ownership. Which will no doubt lead to more absolute roasters like yourself defending patently dung service in the name of independence. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I personally think it's justified that a tree falling over in Kilwinning means the Cathcart circle doesn't run for 18 hours. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Looking at the forth bridges weather report the gusts didn't exceed 65mph last night, the wind was also from a normal direction unlike Arwen and Malik. Seems over kill to me. That said Network rail might be playing catch up after Covid with cutting trees at risk of falling down, but more than that since the Glasgow to Edinburgh line became the star line in Scotrails portfolio they seem to have shat it. Maybe coincidence. Things will be better when we have hydrogen trains running about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
