The wrong sort of pollen

We have had one train company using the excuse of the wrong sort of leaves on the track as a reason for the late running of trains, now Wales has gone one step further.

Today's Daily Post reports that Arriva Trains are claiming that the many problems on the lines between Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Pwllheli and Aberystwyth, are being caused by pollen clogging radiators, leading to engines overheating. The train company say that the effect of pollen on the Cambrian lines isnique, and is particular problem with trains climbing the Talerddig incline near Machynlleth.

Nice to know that Wales leads the way again.

How strange... my best one is the train was delayed because of a swan on the line...

Hope they sort it out. The service is bad enough normally and I'll be taking the other half to meet the grandmother soon, and that's the only way we have to get to her...
