Network Rail’s fleet of snow and ice treatment trains are ready to keep passengers moving this winter and minimise disruption.

• Fleet of snow-and-ice-busting trains to travel the equivalent of six times around the world to keep Kent and East Sussex railway open during freezing weather.
• Anti-icing gel, track heaters and snow ploughs all prepared for when the temperature drops.

Passengers who travel between Crewe and Manchester are being advised to plan ahead as work to replace a bridge over the West Coast main line will ramp up in early 2019.
