Anniversary pledge on leaf-busting trains
Rail firms say they are stepping up their fight against leaves on the line after a crash a year ago involving passenger trains in Salisbury.

Two moving trains collided inside the Fisherton Tunnel on 31 October 2021, with an interim report revealing it was caused by compacted fallen leaves.
Seventeen people were injured, including one of the train drivers.
Network Rail and South Western Railway (SWR) say "leaf-busting" trains will run more regularly this autumn.
In last year's crash, the SWR driver was unable to brake properly for a red signal as compacted leaves on the line had made the rails slippery and the train travelled 626ft (191m) past the signal until it hit the side of a Great Western Railway (GWR) service at a junction.
Isaac Simpson, a passenger on the SWR train, said it was a day he would never forget.
"[I remember] sitting on the train, feeling that braking feeling and then the impact and quite a big judder. Then being on the train for quite a long time, being taken off and walking down the line.
"In a way I have recovered. I didn't really have any other way to get around so I had to get back on to trains. It was scary at first but then it became everyday life again."
He added: "The first journey was quite scary, thinking, 'Is it going to happen again'?
"Every judder was, 'Oh god is it happening again'? You still get a slightly weird feeling when you go past that tunnel junction when you remember this is where the accident happened. That's a bit scary."
