Wheel/rail adhesion levels required by braking are compared with the available adhesion measured by a tribometer train. The probability of wheelslide in the worst of normal conditions is enumerated. The extremes of low adhesion, due to autumn leaves or thick rust, are described. An account is given of the adverse effects of some composition blocks, measured in the laboratory, and evidence supporting the use of auxiliary cast iron or abrasive 'scrubber blocks' to maintain adhesion is outlined.
