'Too hot' for trains to Olympic stadium
Quote:
A Network Rail spokesman said that the heat affected the workings of the remaining older overhead cables out of Liverpool Street, dating back to the 1950s, which are in the process of being replaced.


Only in Britain! :lol:

It’s a line with old electrics, and there have been works renewing some stretches of it from Chelmsford to Shenfield. That said, all we need are some chavs to nick some of the cabling and the whole line will be down!

OK so why was there no trains on the recently updated section of the Overground between Cannonbury & Stratford yesterday morning AND evening? This all seems like b*ll*x to me!

The Cambrian line has been rather warm today. So warm in fact that some of the track has buckled :/
