    Unadvertised Chiltern Service this week

    “Unadvertised Express”. Exactly what it says on the tin. Unusually large single groups, known weeks in advance. See also 1Z22 on 4 & 11-July.

    Fail to stop at High Wycombe (30/06)

    No SSO was required. The next train to High Wycombe pulled in to Saunderton about 30 seconds after the northbound train had stopped. The driver then waited for the 100+ people to cross the bridge and board, before leaving for HWY. Scheduled arrival time for those who should have alighted at High...

    ECS moves that could become passenger services

    From what I have been able to establish, the current position is likely to remain in the December 2026 timetable.

    What’s going on on the Chiltern Mainline today (17/05)?

    The issue was fixed at around 1508 on Sunday. In essence, no information from the Marylebone signalling panels was leaving to the outside world, though the signalling system itself was working fine. The backlog of train movement information seems to have been stored and released to Trust (but...

    Why does Chiltern train data go missing between Amersham and Harrow?

    Because the trains are running on London Underground tracks and using their signalling systems. The LU signalling systems are not fully linked / integrated with the Network Rail / National Rail systems, from which most other public facing systems get their information. Some Chiltern services do...

    Bordesley railway station proposed closure

    The current practice of stopping some long distance Chiltern Railways services at Bordesley, on match days, was seen as a trial and started on 15 Feb 2025 for the game against Charlton. Consequentially, the Statutory Notice is displayed at a number of stations operated by Chiltern where it...

    Chiltern delay repay appeal

    The train that you were on was due to arrive into Marylebone at 0842. It arrived back into Haddenham at 0932. That time doesn't seem to be recorded in any relevant system relating to Delay Repay calculations. The next train to Marylebone was 1H22 (which left at around 0947) and arrived into...

    Major landslide between Haddenham and Bicester update thread

    The vast majority of cancelled trains for Monday were deleted from the public facing industry system (Darwin) on Sunday. Unfortunately there appears to have been a technical problem which meant that the deleted trains were not syncronised properly with the screens at stations. Net result, online...

    Do not travel warning from Chiltern!

    According to the Wembley Stadium website, the concern is around lack of capacity after the game. https://www.wembleystadium.com/news/2023/05/26/20/43/EFL-CHAMPIONSHIP-PLAY-OFF-FINAL-URGENT-TRAVEL-ALERT

    Chiltern May 2023 timetable change - for the worse or better?

    The 1745 was formed of 5-165 as booked. RTT shows it did not leave from its booked platform, so likely a swap and late allocation into systems. A revised short term train plan starts tomorrow ref Nuneham capacity, so no idea what new formations will be. All peak Oxford services were as booked...

    Chiltern May 2023 timetable change - for the worse or better?

    From what I’ve seen, looks to be a complete mix of 165 & 168 trains booked for the weekday Oxford services. Seem to alternate for much of the off-peak daytime, but other than that fairly unpredictable. In the morning the 0634 from OXF remains 8/168 and the 0745 is booked as 5/168.
