"Where the heck [do] 84 slugs hide during the daytime?"

Why, on the tracks, of course!

excessive heat on the rails (first sunny day of the year)

Last time I was in England, it must have been 26 degrees one day and the tracks were all warping and delaying trains everywhere from being "too hot".

Hilarious.

Well, that explains the sluggish behavior of the service.

Slugs hide themselves very well during the daytime, out of the watchful eyes of inspectors.

When my son was 4 we enjoyed taking bug walks at night. One night we decided to count the slugs on the concrete block wall surrounding the elementary school we live next to. We counted 84 slugs! Where the heck to 84 slugs hide during the daytime?

In the UK, the excuses for delayed trains include leaves on the line, the wrong kind of snow, slippery rain, dew on the tracks, excessive heat on the rails (first sunny day of the year), too many passengers, illegal immigrants on the line, someone climbed on to a signal and taking pot shots at passing trains, and a giant clown on the line". (This related to an inflatable Ronald McDonald which had blown from the roof of a restaurant onto the South Wales main line.)

I wonder if they will make the electrical boxes slug proof now.
