UK Trains Slowed by Hot Weather and Dry Soil

Imagine the UK is having a really hot summer.

The heat is making the ground very dry, especially the clay that train tracks sit on.

This clay is shrinking, which makes the tracks uneven, like a bumpy road.

To keep everyone safe, trains have to go slower.

This means trains are running late and some might even be canceled.

Train companies are working hard to fix the issue but are warning passengers to check for delays before traveling.
