04/02/09 Network Rail are not pleased to advise that the Meteorological Office has informed them that around a foot of snow is likely to fall tonight in various places (unable to say exactly where) between Slough to Exeter; Slough to Swansea; Oxford to Worcester; and Exeter to Worcester and everything in between.

Network Rail staff have been put on alert and are planning to go into work at around 3am.
