Our good friends Scuppered did us proud again.
We had a bit of an adventure on the return journey. The train came to a
screeching halt just after emerging from Totley tunnel. The conductor
informed us that the signal ahead had changed from green to red as we
approached - unlike road traffic lights, not a thing that's supposed to
happen.
Visions of recent instances during the heavy snow of passengers being
marooned on trains for hours but as it turned out, we were moving again
after 30 minutes and meanwhile Scuppered
did a wonderful job bringing out the Dunkirk spirit.The
problem was caused by a power failure in the Sheffield rail area,
turning every signal automatically to red as a safety measure.
