Comments on: At What Point Are Adverse Weather Conditions Considered Normal? http://blog.richardstowey.co.uk/2010/01/at-what-point-are-adverse-weather-conditions-considered-normal/ Richard Stowey Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:58:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Pinar http://blog.richardstowey.co.uk/2010/01/at-what-point-are-adverse-weather-conditions-considered-normal/comment-page-1/#comment-27 Pinar Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:58:51 +0000 http://blog.richardstowey.co.uk/?p=187#comment-27 Good post, but I do have some reservation about preparig for this 40% that is expected. This can anly be assumped to happen within the next 10 - 15 years. Although the snow comes and trains stop, it isn't because we were not prepared but it is because the train services did not act accordingly to their superiors when warning were given. Allowing the train services to have snow plows on the front of each train will need a lot of money. The money would essential come from us commuters and tax payers. For the 4% of snow and ice presently I think it wouldn't be worth spending millions of pounds just for that week or two of snow. Having efficient amount of grit and salt for the roads, train tracks, schools and hospitals is what is really needed at the moment. I certainly don't want to be paying more for my train tickets in and out of London just to cover the 4% of snow. I am pretty sure with a little more organisation, delegation, effective spending of money, fast working and people listening to warnings, the 4% of snow at present will be covered better and for the the future.
