I'm stuck in stupid America, but my British friends tell me of regular rail delays because of leaves on the rails. I assume that isn't a problem with these trains, so why is this a problem in the UK?
It's a big problem for anything using rails. https://youtu.be/ZEuFSw-CMzU?feature=shared

Maybe they're just taking a piss? Same for the whole train system shutting down due to a single snowflake.
I've been looking into it since I posted that and apparently it makes the rails slippery and the trains have to slow down because of it and trains have to slow down because of it.

So I guess the answer is that these trains have to slow down too.
