WCML 22/11 Person hit MK to WFJ

[pablo]

Delays until 11:00 according the VT's website. Anyone got info?

 

[The Planner]

Fatailty at Denbigh Hall South Jn, not a lot else at the minute.

1H12 0820 Euston - Man Picc the train involved.

 

[oversteer]

All four lines blocked according to LM

 

[tsr]

Slow Lines are apparently now reopening. There is a queue...

I believe 1H12 0820 VT London Euston - Manchester Piccadilly may have been involved.

Looks like a few trains from London Euston to Manchester have been cancelled this afternoon because of this.

Fatailty at Denbigh Hall South Jn, not a lot else at the minute.

1H12 0820 Euston - Man Picc the train involved.

How do you get onto the line there?

Was it 390152 that was involved as this unit had just arrived onto Longsight as I pasted this afternoon and the coupling cover was severely damaged.

Someone saw that unit go through Crewe with the damage

It appears it ran to Longsight as this:

I do despair when reading the VT Twitter feed sometimes when something like this happens and the whingers complain & bitch about the VT services being delayed/cancelled/overcrowded as a result...

Just out of interest, how much influence do affected TOCs have in situations like this? Once you have a PHBT, can the TOC do anything to get things moving quicker or must they wait and do nothing until given the all clear by, eg, Network Rail or the BTP?

My instinct is they have no say until the scene is released by the relevant parties

Definitely not sorted by lunchtime. I went from MKC to London at 1700 and still delays then.
