Britain’s 20,000 mile railway network is with an estimated 500 billion leaves annually. They cause significant autumn disruption by sticking and compressing moist rail under the wheels of low rail.

The resulting thick, slippery layer similar to black snow reduces the grip of the train and can prevent signallers from detecting the presence of the train on new track sections.

Motion restrictions are imposed in an attempt to reduce accidents, such as accidents between two trains outside a tunnel CeliceburyIn October 2021, Wiltshire in which 13 passengers and a driver required hospital treatment.

“The scale of operation involved in advancing passengers through autumn is monumental: CTRL ALT DELEF and Leaf-Bustlers trains will have a distance of more than a million miles in our fleet, as well as deploying fast-reacted teams and using more technology than before.
