Anyway, back to the question in hand....
Ah ok, just wanted to know why the power seems to trip out on trains when it snow's or rains. Alot of sparks from the power pickups on the trains.

Just a momentary arc. You only need to worry if you smell burning and see the flames  .

Thanks, i wasn't worried.... I was thinking that we may have to get out and walk tho as the train kept dying and it seems the driver had to keep resetting or restarting something before we moved again.
Just out of interest.... how many volts and amps run down the power rails ?
Sorry, i'm  'ing this thread

Is there any truth in the rumour that part of your responsibility is testing the 3rd rail with your tongue?

And I thought it was all due to the wrong type of snow/rain !

I've written my will today. Not something to smile about in itself but I have been meaning to do it for years so I'm smiling cos I've finally done it.
I also went for a lovely 3 hour walk across the north downs this morning in the sun. We had to bath the dog when we got home though as he was very muddy |

Going for a great ride down to Box to Bury Hill to Box and home. Great weather, great riding. The roads were all dry and the sun was out.
To top it all, I was also able to clean the bike properly with running water.
Shiney happy person! |

I took the ninja for a pootle today to bluewater and back as it was the first time I'd ridden in three weeks. I'd forgotten how nice it is having the freedom of being on a bike.
