That was quite amusing from on-board. We'd just passed East Croydon then stopped very suddenly. Turned out the driver realised we wouldn't fit on the original route so we were towed backed to East Croydon by the 37 on the back then continued on about 30 mins late. Sent from my SM-G930F using...

It's not doing that route anymore as they couldn't get the paths. I have a booking on it and got a letter saying the route changed. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

The 07.56 from St Albans to Sevenoaks has been a 387 for a while now. Along with it's much welcomed air conditioning.

Arrived at Farringdon at about 5.30 just as the dead train and it's rescue were changing power. Was a bit odd to see so much 319 heading northwards - all 16 cars of it. Got on the second train through which thankfully started at Black friars and so wasn't rammed on arrival.

Friday they were running the trains into one platform, then out of the other, presumably turning them in the tunnel towards Farringdon. They were also using upstairs as well so that's an extra platform or two. So why such a naff service today???? Even the driver on my train said 'Oh dear heres...

Chuck it over the bridge into the river :lol: Would they have been sitting in Smithfield Sidings this afternoon then? Wondered what they were doing in there. Did have the amusement of a Southeastern train turning up at City (about 1610) and failing (apparently) which blocked the...

I think 'disconnected' isn't the best description - the signal controlling the junction has been covered on Farringdon platform 3 and there are sleepers across the rails towards Moorgate. Must admit, I didn't notice anything different happening today in terms of AC/DC - still the familiar zap at...
