    i live in North Warwickshire , the worst area hit in the Midlands blizzard of 8th dec 1990, we had 2 and a half feet of snow fall unforecast overnight, we had no power for 4 days and no water for 3 days, luckily the gas stayed on. some of the drifts went up to the eaves of the roof! The snowdrifts lasted for weeks afterwards, and had just melted when the big freeze of 1991 happened

    I remember that. I lived in Notts at the time. I remember telling my mum that we needed to go tp the supermarket the night before, because they mentioned it on the news (She was there). We also had guests. She said 'this won't happen'. Anyway, we went to bed, and I got up in the night to get water, and the sky was that orange colour. I told her to look outside the window and she was horrified. Later in the day I had to keep walking back to the shops to buy food and candles....I got a Mars Bar and a cold as a reward.

    @@kino-cathedral - I was born in 1991 so I can't really remember. I traveled by train a lot from my early years on, so I can vaguely remember the later years of British Rail, and I'm from Wales and we were one of the last parts of the United Kingdom to get rail privitisation, but I can't remember if it was necessarily loved or not. Labour have made various promises to renationalise the railway network if they ever get back into power, but it's a more popular policy amongst younger people like myself who either can't remember British Rail that well or weren't alive during its time. I'm a Conservative Party supporter, but I still think it might be cool to see the railways nationalised again. The trains in this country are useless. There are often delays and it's rare to have routes that are 100% national. For example, where I'm from (Swansea in Wales), the only other places you can get to directly by train are Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven further west in Wales, Cardiff, London and Manchester (and, of course, all the places in-between those destinations). You can't go from here to, say, Glasgow or Norwich directly. To go to Glasgow from here, you'd have to go from here to Manchester and then get a second train from there to Glasgow. And to get to Norwich, I'd have to go from here to probably Bristol Parkway, then Bristol Parkway to Sheffield and then Sheffield to Norwich. Or here to Cardiff, then Cardiff to Nottingham and then Nottingham to Norwich. It's so annoying!

    Empty Egg Box ... Yep, British rail was the nationalised train company, 100% state owned and operated everywhere across the nation, and unlike todays disastrous railway, it was affordable and really quiet reliable. Then it was privatised and broken up and has led to what we have today, an unreliable splintered rail service that is unreliable and very expensive.

Was it beloved, well like any service you always get some who are dissatisfied, but in general and on the whole it was well liked and was far more reliable than todays privatised rail network, and it was far less expensive to use compared to todays over priced rail services. As it was all state owned it was well organised and run for the people and not for profit as is the case with todays privately owned rail companies.
