That's unkind.

They went on to explain that the trains could cope with wet soggy
British snow, but that rare fluffy stuff was causing problems (sucked
into the motors)


A later occasion saw the nothing to do with British Rail French designed
Eurostar trains also affected.
Fine dry snow penetrated into the power car bodywork , on entering the
tunnel the warmer atmosphere
thawed it out and the water then created problems amongst the electrics.

Not being British the press didnt pillory the company like they would
normally have done.
