Storm Amy Travel Disruption (03/10 onwards)

[D1537]

That's the 1852 Avanti departure from Edinburgh Waverley via the WCML. Nornally for London Euston but tonight would have been terminating at Preston. Avanti journey check mentioning a tree down. Not sure where. Also, has anything else been able to use platform 4 at Haymarket in the past hour, or is 9M62 still there?

9M62 is on the move again, just passed Slateford running 154 late.

The Mecca that is Brundall Gardens along with Diss have also now succumbed to Amy and our wind speed is negligible to that of the North & North West.

 

[Class 466]

Tree down between Mytholmroyd & Sowerby Bridge with services held in both directions

9M62 is on the move again, just passed Slateford running 154 late.

So 9M62 *might* possibly get to Preston for around midnight?!

 

[D1511]

I see an Avanti 1Z72 Carstairs - Edinburgh has appeared in the schedule. What the hell is that?

It's 167 late at Cobbinshaw, so yes, 2 minutes past midnight......assuming it doesn't lose any more time .....which it inevitably will due to the TSRs......so closer to the wrong side of 1am I'd say.......

It's whatever was on 1S72

0100 is probably more likely, the speed restriction through Scotland is adding up to an hour onto the journey time

So they've diverted it to Edinburgh then......

Wonder how far 1E30 1818 Aberdeen to Leeds will actually run tonight (currently 124 Late at Markinch and still advertised as running all that way)

 

[D1511]

I'm certainly glad I'm at home scanning some old loco slides from the 80s rather than trying to go anywhere tonight!

 

[londonmidland]

1M18 is currently running 225 minutes late.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

The Sleeper from Glasgow to Euston seems to be running:

[Bayum]

TOCs are damned if they do and damned if they don’t by the sounds of things!

 

[D1511]

Update on 9M62......arrived in Preston at 00.53, just the 217 minutes late

Looks like Avanti should have trusted their initial cautious approach.

It has almost reached York at 0245. Only 154 mins late.

The lowland sleepers were always booked to run; it's the Highland sleepers (1M16/1S25)
which have been cancelled.

Terminated Leeds 139 late which isn’t too bad at all considering.

Are there problems on the aire valley line to Skipton and Bradford Forster square it's saying at Leeds on the boards some services have been cancelled due to emergency incidents have the overhead wires withstood last nights strong gusts?

Sadly emergency services dealing with an incident at Cononley Station, which has effectively trapped some electric units getting away from the depot at Skipton towards Leeds.

Emergency service dealing with an incident is what northern are tweeting.

Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident between Shipley and Skipton, all lines are blocked.

Everything to/from Glasgow Central now suspended:

I was not at all surprised! The weather here (Neilston) yesterday evening, and through the night, was absolutely wild, and I'm just glad no trees came down in the street and my roof appears undamaged. Conditions were much more of Amber Warning status than Yellow.

 

[Huntergreed]

All trains from Dumfries to Carlisle/Glasgow are cancelled until about 3PM.

Does anyone know of a specific reason for this? The weather here this morning doesn’t seem particularly bad, and I’m not aware of any damage to the line overnight from any trees or objects.

Yes I noticed that too.

I'm aiming for the 1725 from Carlisle to Dumfries, so fingers crossed!

Last night's 1S69 13:30 London Euston to Glasgow Central to Glasgow Central was terminated at Carluke of all places.. Tyrell messaging stated at the time that passengers were transferred to 1M18 17:30 Glasgow Central to London Euston- which itself left Glasgow Central 18:17 and only arrived at Lockerbie at 21:44- I'm guessing maybe the original 1S69 pax were taken down to Carstairs for onward road transport? I've no idea what happened to them.

 

[M!T]

Judging by the situation on the Airedale Line I made the right decision to postpone my London trip!

Certainly got their monies worth then.

Since I made my post, I've just noticed that Realtime Trains alleges that 1M18 didn't call at Lockerbie.

Airedale Line reopened now.

I believe passengers were sent to Carstairs on 1M18, then transferred onto TPE 1S71 which was able to divert via Holytown into Glasgow.
