Various issues this morning in 3rd rail land with South Western and Southern being delayed or cancelled due to ice on the third rail. 1W51 failed across Worting Junction, another train has just reached Haslemere 260L after being stuck at Milford, whilst Farncombe on the UP had a similar issue. Southern also had the same issue reported around Three Bridges.
My question is why weren’t they more prepared? The cold weather was predicted, ususally De-icer MPVs or ghost units run around, that seems not to have happened over night.
