It usually happens around Berskwell on the COV-BHM line, usually some Pikey nicking the cables. Last major delay I had was when there were points problems around BHM and that was a while ago so I guess I got lucky

Yesterday was Possesion overun's & then axle counter failure in the Blisworth area (2nd hand info as I was off yesterday).
Today was rail head issues with LM again compounded by the fact as said a points failure at Bham Inter.
I left Bham right time with the 07:50 to Eus, I think I was about 12 late at Cov after following on single yellows & reds from Adderley park. :cry:
Got some of it back after Rugby.

Not the only signal problems - your Orange signal is as good as mine!

Have you registered to use T-Mobile signal too? I've really noticed the difference since I did, my phone seems to be on T-Mobile more than Orange these days.

It is called 'UK Train Times' by Agant Ltd available on the app store, but costs a whopping £4.99! I needed it for my ALR so was forced to pay £4.99. Good app though, gives you LDB and journey planner, and you can set a home station, so you can just press 'next train home' as it detects your location

Before I do, does it tell you where stations the trains stop at? That's something the free 'trainline' app doesn't do.

Its very good - however the mobile site of national rail enquries does the same thing. It does indeed list all calling points of trains on the live departure boards but if you are planning a future journey i've yet to see an app that shows you which station your train calls at!

I use it when im working on Hartlepool Station, very handy!
I have 3 set "favourites".
You can choose your home station, you can also select if you wish to view direct trains only, and overtaken trains.
Works on the iPhone 4 as i use it.

What are you using for the screenshots? Or am I missing something obvious?
Just press and release the home button and the sleep button at the same time.

I have - but with limited success. On Orange I can use everything on the phone, but with pathetic signal. On T-mobile I get strong signal everywhere, but internet and any online apps cease working properly! Sometimes they do, but often they come up with an error. So at the moment I manually switch to Orange if I need online stuff, and then to T-mobile to make a bloody phonecall.
I want my old Nokia 1110 back. Worked flawlessly for years, battery lasted over a week on a charge, and the signal was pretty much always full. I guess progress is the price you pay to have all these shiny phones that don't work properly.

Orange admit that at the moment, not all the apps work properly via the T-Mobile 3G network but apparently this is going to change sometime next year when the T-Mobile network gets properly integrated

Add to that a Desiro with a power loss problem earlier that caused delays as well as the fatality.
