    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Why are trains in south London more affected by snow than those elsewhere?" Short answer: the third rail ices over, which makes it stop working. Overhead cables (used north of the river) aren't affected, while the DLR's third rail connects underneath (not above) the rail, so that's OK too. It's good to see the article note that the old Southern Railway actually converted away from overhead to third rail in the 1920s.]]></description>

If it hadn't have been for this book, I'd never have realised there were still steam networks (naturally, NYC's is the largest, but apparently Paris has one also).]]></description>

Either the network, or its proximity to water pipes, probably explains the occasional sight of steam venting downtown. Shame the full-size map is only a PDF.]]></description>
