Not about to debate climate change, but interestingly technical reports from England discuss an increase in heat-related failures from temperatures in the 27° C range - about 81° C. Though many of those were signaling issues, not track expansion. And of course English design is unlikely to anticipate summers as hot as ours.

Your last sentence is spot on as the English are not accustomed to elevated temperatures that we have in the States. Should it rise any higher, they may have to reevaluate what their next steps should be.

I'm glad you didn't take my remarks personally as I didn't know how to phrase it without it sounding terrible.

By the way as a member of the peanut gallery I'm happy to share the peanuts I have with fellow members. cool
