Runway Excursion at NCL

News Reports coming through of a ThomsonFly aircraft overshooting the runway at NCL.....

Lets hope this is NOT a repeat of last year when many UK Airports failed to uphold their responsibilities during winter operations.

ATC not prepared to give a braking action is threading on thin ice to say the least, Expecting the flight crew to make an assessment (from the flightdeck???)...This is just not acceptable,

The CAA will have to act now.
Safety Issue for sure, if things are left the way they are.

Suspect if the freeze continues or gets worse, this will not be the only runway excursion this winter season
