I wouldn't think you could argue with that end result, considering the disasters you have recounted here before.

I thought upon reading your post the first time that the snow was somehow intrinsic to the train derailing, but now I am not sure. Do you know what caused the train to go off the tracks?

Officially they're still investigating the cause of the derailment : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/8441120.stm

It would seem a bit coincidental that the derailment happened when the weather was so bad, so I'm guessing there might be some snow/ice involvement.

How is it possible that I arrived home exactly on time?

You obviously went through some sort of time warp if you made it home on time after all that!

After many years of experience I think all normal laws of logic and causality do not apply where the British public transport system is involved ;)

You know, that sentence could come right out of a Douglas Adams novel.

I bet you've got snow now though, eh?

[williamjm]

Yes, although I think Cambridge was only on the edge of the snow today so we've probably still got less than most of the country. We did have a bit falling at lunchtime but it is only a light covering of the ground.

Yes, there was snow here before I went up to Scotland for Christmas (more than there is currently) but I think it had all melted after a few days, according to my colleagues who were here over the holiday.
