Or points to it happening at one o'clock in the morning in the middle
of winter, and them needing a few hours of daylight to do a proper
search of the area?

Or that the "resource" they are missing is floodlighting?

A very, very, very, very poor substitute for sunlight. Remember that
they are looking for tiny things, and although floodlights may look
bright they are either very directional - so things get hidden in
shadows - or much dimmer.

Surely everyone hibernates (or gets roaring drunk) up there in winter?

They are not in the UK and so have a more sensible attitude.

Even somewhat south of the Arctic Circle there is little daylight in
winter.

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me using the RIP Act 2000.

Make the best of a bad job? Seems to me that there is a weeny
difference between waiting a few hours for enough daylight to do a
good job and waiting several weeks or months.

if you came home at midnight and saw water coming froma blocked
gutter, would you immediately shin up a ladder - ather than wit till
the morning - because that's how they do things in Reykjavik?

I've been called out at 2am to inspect leaking gutters at the workplace
I was responsible for; if that helps.

And you repaired them there and then, did you, leaving no part of the
job until the morning?

We did what was necessary to keep the (24x7) workplace running normally
until further notice - the other option being to abandon ship. And then
fixed it properly later. In the case of the trains, what is missing is
the "restoring normal operation" aspect.
