Winter services

Trains run year round on the H&DLR, and quite a bit of effort is expended on keeping the track clear and clean enough to do this.

The battery fleet is a backup for those days when the track is too wet and/or dirty for track power to run. 

However, previous cleaning activities meant that once some of the lineside vegetation had been cleared, track powered trains were able to run.

The last train of the day always calls at all stations, and is often the railbus. It's seen here pausing at Holzapfel for the final customers of the day.
