Keeping The Railways Clean In Winter

Description
Many people are now aware of the 'leaf fall' season that happens in autumn when the railways have the problem of clearing leaves from the line, but it's just as bad in the winter season of January and February when snow and ice can freeze tracks and third rail conductors. So I popped down to Tonbridge West year to have a look at the work that goes on to keeping the railways running during winter months.

Please note this was filmed in the first week of December 2020, when London was in Tier 2. Read how I'm filming safely during Covid-19 here: https://geofftech.co.uk/safe.html
