But only just..... Does not bode well for future years particularly when the North Sea is played out and we become ever more reliant on Gazprom and Russian politics.

Wintry weather drove stocks “dangerously low”, experts say.

The narrow escape from a frozen Britain has raised concerns over increasing reliance on foreign gas.

The alarm was raised last night by the Crown Estate, which manages vast undersea gas caverns.

It said the country was just hours from “interruptions to supply” in March.

Rob Hastings, energy and infrastructure director at the Crown Estate, said: “We really only had six hours’ worth left. If it had run any lower it would have meant interruptions to supply…the gas supply is dangerously low.”

UK politics and bowing to Brussels.

Let's start digging coal so we can save gas for heating and not generating electricity.

Article on the TV news last night about the local enthusiast steam train lines that the price of coal has gone through the roof recently.

Some old and established lines may not be able to survive.
