This is a question Relief

Last week, I thought we'd run over and killed something. After steeling myself to get out and find the body of somebody's beloved pet, I found we'd squished a bin bag. When has something turned out not as grim as you first thought?

Although much derided, there was an actual story behind "leaves on the line" causing train delays.
Leaves became laminated on to the rails by trains repeatedly running over them, making the tracks more slippery and hazardous. The speed limit on that stretch was reduced and as a result the rail traffic was slowed down, causing delays.

They should just fit the trains with leafblowers
