The railway industry works hard to keep trains moving safely during the autumn. Autumn can be a challenging time as thousands of tonnes of leaves fall on the railway each year.
When a train passes over leaves, the heat and weight of the trains bake them into a thin, slippery layer on the rail. This is equivalent to black ice on the roads.
All of our ultra-modern trains are fitted with devices that spray sand onto the track to increase their grip, but sometimes we still need to reduce the speed. When trains have to slow down it can have a knock-on effect to other services.
Due to the reduced speeds across the network some services may be affected, and we recommend you check before you travel through Journey Check.
