⛈️ #StormAusten arrives this week, so we're working hard to prevent weather-related delays. 🚆 40-60% more rain is forecast than normal this year, so floods + fallen trees are likely to disrupt trains. 🦺 Check travel at @nationalrailenq in bad weather. gloo.to/F9Z6 – at Culcheth, England

It's that time of year again, leaves on the line... 🍂🙄 Well, we're here to tell you: It's Not Just A Leaf! It's millions of leaves falling onto the tracks which, when crushed under passing trains, can turn into slippery mulch - the black ice of the railway. But don't worry, we're ready for autumn! Teams across Northern, @TPExpressTrains, @networkrail and wider industry are working together to tackle leaf fall, reduce disruption and keep you moving safely.
