Easy ways to find out about your trains this winter
Wintry weather can cause problems for train companies and Network Rail: equipment becoming frozen; ice on the rails leading to wheels slipping & wider transport issues affecting the ability of staff to get to work.
This winter, train companies and Network Rail will do everything they can to minimise the disruption to your journey, however if there are problems there are lots of ways that you can find out what’s happening to your trains.
Why not do these things now so that you are prepared?
