Sir Christopher Wren was rostered to help with clearing the frozen snow from the track.
But the snow was just too hard and the little track clearing loco with the snow plough fitted was too light and became de-railed!
With a “hand from above” the line to the station was cleared, but the cutting beyond was heavily blocked – and when more sleet started falling the task was abandoned.

Shame the track clearing train failed, but I always enjoy seeing the Metrovic out whatever the excuse!
Love that last pic of the track in the snow.
Nice to se some snow action ! Sadly I didn’t get any.
