In previous winters I think it might be a case of axle counters not picking up trains property so services have been reduced and spaced out.

Line will probally be cleaned tonight.

There's always a few really bad days for delays after the first big storm of the season removes about a third of the leaves in one go. It'll get a bit better but it'll be the new year before the timetable returns to normal levels of lateness.

How much of this is genuine weather disruption and how much management who don't care and other staff who have no interest in running a punctual service.

Due to restricted signalling introduced due to poor rail conditions there are delays to DART, Commuter and Intercity services*
