Electric trains just love the snow!

In South East England we generally get very little snow, and when it does come we tend to make a big deal of it. This year snow fell on the evening of 4th April and on into the night. Some areas, received quite a helping of snow, and while my local area received somewhat less (not a lot more than 3cm) it was still enough to provide some railway amusement.

It is quite widely known that trains don't like snow. Electric trains picking up from the 3rd rail in particular. While as a general rule I do not film trains, SWT's class 455's were putting on such a brilliant firework display as that I just could not resist!
