You'll need to let us know your home town, so we can familiarise ourselves with the local bus timetables to help you get to your doctors on time.

The Scotrail website says the line north of Perth is shut again tonight!!

 

[MCR247]

The Scotrail website says the line north of Perth is shut again tonight!!

Dun dun dun!

More exciting than Eastenders this!

 

[sonic2009]

The Scotrail website says the line north of Perth is shut again tonight!!

NOOOOOOOOOO WAY... well let the fun continue x

 

[CallySleeperKid]

The Scotrail website says the line north of Perth is shut again tonight!!

Will the sleeper go as far as Perth or will the call it a day at Edinburgh? See if you can get into the Aberdeen set, even seated, if that is running as normal.

 

[junglejames]

Will probably terminate at Edinburgh.

 

[sonic2009]

I'm back. Now crewe staff said only it only ran half set last night .... so what's going everyone wonders..

 

[junglejames]

Well i will admit that the little bit about the line being closed again is a lie!!! Just trying to get you all going again!!
I think we guessed it came down half set last night, but the stock that terminated at Edinburgh may have come down ECS during the day.

Crewe could always call Euston and find out.
Also, is there nobody on here thats got access to one of these railway computer systems? TRUST etc etc. Surely something somewhere knows how many coaches are on the train, and if there was an ECS move today.

 

[sonic2009]

I thought it was a con!! Just checked scotrail no disruption!!.. just wait until this train turns up at crewe. anyone got an idea where inverness portion will be @ crewe rear end i take it?

 

[junglejames]

Rear end as usual.

 

[sonic2009]

may i ask. what's the record number of views in one day?

 

[junglejames]

God knows, but this takes some beating!!
Perhaps we should print this thread out and turn it into a book!!!

Oh, should have got your little friends in the pic to drive the 57 earlier today!! Youd have made all that time up!

 

[Statto]

[junglejames]

I was fibbing Statto!!
There are no problems. Except for the fact the 90 left Watford late!!!

 

[sonic2009]

yeah spoke to driver on service. and he said ever since network rail touched maindee junction. its been going wrong!

 

[junglejames]

WHAT? Spoke to driver on service? What was he doing in the coach! Oh, you mean your little sonics were driving?!!

 

[sonic2009]

no the driver on the 57 got off at crewe. i asked him what the problems were. and he complained about that.. It's Sonic and Tails Actually.

 

[Statto]

Tut tut tut, that's naughty, think the ops heart skipped a few beats.

Why does the Sleeper takes so long from Watford to Crewe[2hrs 20min], think it's quicker on the LM stopper?

 

[Ivo]

Why haven't I been reading this thread before now?

Has this thread become "The Second Coming of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" (loved the original series in the early '90s )?

Oh yea, that's a point; I should be your enemy. My name comes from one Dr Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.

 

[sonic2009]

Guess what im seeing. My Camera wont work God Damn!

A Class 380 in Platform 12!!! ....

In middle road between Plat 11 and Plat 12..

 

[junglejames]

Actually i was telling the truth that time. It did leave late. 4mins late!!!!
There is plenty of slack time in timetable, plus it isnt even timetabled for 100mph. Even at the speeds it does it arrives 10 early at times

 

[daikilo]

And if someone had departed somewhere in South Wales on a later service and had been worried about a connection at Crewe to the Sleeper to Aviemore?

Would they have even thought to enlist the 9-10 pages of help (?) on this site?

Would the ATW crew, or external sources, have had any means to help them?

Would they have felt they were travelling on a National rail network?

Thanks Sonic, you got me thinking about reality.

Cool. Not seen one of those yet.

 

[sonic2009]

yeah it's at crewe. but even if camera did work poor quality lighting to get a photo!!

 

[junglejames]

A decent camera will still take a good pic with poor light. Sonys are good for this. Only problem is sometimes its out of focus as it cant focus in the bad light.

 

[Ivo]

Why would a 380 be at Crewe? I thought my seeing a 379 there last month was strange enough :?

 

[sonic2009]

Ivo i think its going to scottieland , 380008 marshalled in between freight..

 

[junglejames]

Why would a 380 be at Crewe? I thought my seeing a 379 there last month was strange enough :?

In the middle of its way up to Scotland? Stopping off for a last night of freedom before meeting all the skirt wearing males up there!!!!!!
Joke!
