Entitled pricks on motorbikes who think speed limits dont apply to them and doing 80+ in a 40 zone is fully acceptable.

According to a police website, speed limits don't count if you're listening to Iron Maiden!

Think this heat is making people more argumentative than normal.
Looking to argue the toss on multiple platforms ?

We really don’t do extremes of weather in the UK at all well, do we?
I heard on the news earlier that Londoners have been advised against travelling on Monday and Tuesday. Really? What do these Londoners do when they go on holiday in July and August? Stay in their hotel rooms?
We really are breeding a nation of lightweights.

This country is unfortunately built for a solid 5-30 degrees
We aren't set up for this weather that's coming.
We have plans of speed restrictions in open sections of 25 miles per hour (normally 45 mph) incase the rails buckle or the points fail with the swelling. Air temp is normally massively increased in rail temp
Network rail are looking at speed restrictions all over their network for same reason
Other counties are set up for the weather and can set their equipment accordingly
Have to admit I'm not looking forward to Sunday - Tuesday I'm working the lot and I think it's going to be chaos .. we normally get point failures and buckled rails .. this could be record breaking
When you go on holiday you have air con, swimming pools . The houses are built different to the UK. Smaller windows abroad keeping the light out to keep heat out. We let as much light in as possible. Makes for a green house.
Poor insulation of homes means the air escapes and hot air comes in its place
When they say "it's a different heat abroad" they aren't wrong
My friend is from Yorkshire. When she used to come visit in the summer she couldn't stand the heat down south even tho abroad loves it
On holiday you chill out , snails pace aswell.
Can't imagine many people's bosses saying hey no worries take all day

People spend years complaining about poor reaction to events (ie too late) but when it's actually being proactive and warning people then people still complain
Even if it didn't come and was a complete waste of time least it's better than people being idiots and going for a run in it and Keeling over

There will be plenty of people who start to struggle in this heat, medical conditions or just overdoing it.
Even supposedly healthy people
We're not going back into lockdown.......
I absolutely get all of that, and understand that we are not set up for extremes, but effectively telling people not to travel at all? Really?
I remember picking up my then 8 year old daughter from primary school several years ago when it had been a beautiful 26 degree early summer’s day. I said she must have enjoyed playing out in the sunshine with her friends and was horrified to hear they had been kept inside because “it was too hot”. It’s no different in the snow - woe betide anyone who dares to play snowballs. It’s pathetic.
I get there will be difficulties - my mate drives for EMR - but we simply cannot allow the country to grind to a halt for a couple of days because it’s swelteringly hot. I wonder how other Northern European countries with a similar climate would cope.

comes down to under investment in infrastructure.
Telling people not to travel is the right thing to do, those who can avoid traveling by WFH or whatever for the day relieve some of the strain on the roads, and the rails. Less people on trains make em less hot etc
we have emergency water supplies ready to go normally incase of stalled trains, even more ready for the heat wave. Think we will be handing bottles out on stations
for example we take a lot of reversing points out so the trains will run late. think we are talking of cutting the service down by 10-20% to enable the drivers to run late then finish on time as we cant afford to risk using a siding to turn them incase the points fail. tech officers on standby at termius .. prob down to 2 out of 3 platforms to mean less points and if they did fail we would be able to re open the other platform
all the drivers not driving ready to pick up trains to make them right time again
people underestimate the dangers of heat and think its a case of "manning up" those are the biggest risk because they dont think it applies to them.
altho ill believe the heat wave is here when I see my nan take her cardie off
