If You live In The UK,

you will have heard a multitude of reasons for trains being late, leaves on the track being the most popular in the autumn, the wrong kind of snow stopping train doors from closing in the winter, even dandelion seeds shutting down trains in the summer, but Southern services have now got an excuse for their trains being late in the spring, dew, a Southern spokeswoman later explained: 'this is a railhead phenomenon that happens at this time of the year, dew gets on the tracks and makes conditions difficult,' the problem led to delays for some early-morning commuters from the Uckfield area of Sussex, while services from Godstone and Tonbridge in Kent were also affected,

now Southern Rail, forgive me for saying this but isn't dew some type of water? like rain water? what are you saying, if the tracks are wet the trains will be late! I know we can not go back in time, but none of the above problems ever affected steam trains!
