Dear Sir/Madam,
BLOW TO SERVICES
It's
deeply disturbing that Scotrail has cancelled all services on the Far
North and West Highland lines in advance of Storm Caroline.
The
company has been making much recently of investment in new rolling
stock and motive power but it seems that this has been misplaced. In the
days of steam haulage, such precautionary cancellations in advance of
forecast weather never took place.
Instead
of flimsy modern engineering that dare not be allowed out of the shed in
the wrong sort of weather, Scotrail should be placing bulk orders for
tried and tested steam locomotives like Flying Scotsman for which
blueprints are readily available.
