    LNER ‘false’ arrival times to avoid Delay Repay?

    We can factor this into most offsets, RTT only shows in the quarter of a minute, and if the line speed is low anyway you get less variance between trains too. It only really becomes an issue where signal sections are long and/or where there are lots of conflicting movements nearby...

    LNER ‘false’ arrival times to avoid Delay Repay?

    The WTT and the running times used to make it are based off the actual times the trains are expected to start/stop/pass not the time they enter or leave a "block". The times you see on RTT in most cases is not the time the train has entered or left a block but a calculated value based off those...

    EMR weird stopping patterns

    This is due to the two track timetable after 11pm on a weekday, this is to allow for the Section 4 Standard Possession Opportunities. The train won't always use the slows lines, as there are selective week Section 5 Opportunities for the Slow Lines. The train does still go via Stenson Junction...

    Sectional Appendix Error

    The former is correct, the junction has moved ever so slightly since the line speed was increased over it. I assume you are using the online PDF copies, which state that the LNE version in that area is shown for "convenience of users only", however there is nothing convenient about it as it was...

    Whittlesea station and East Midlands Railway stopping cancellations

    RTT does not reflect cancellations of stops, only stops that the TD data and reference data suggest were not made. As this is a manual reporting location RTT will not reflect the cancellation/stop not made. It may do in this specific case, but it does not generally. There are many manual...

    HS1 Disruption August Bank Holiday

    Its a points issue, damaged in a possession on early Sunday morning. Eurostar are affected, just still running a full service. Only the up line is open between Ebbsfleet and Singlewell I think.

    Bi-Di Signalling - Wellingborough to Leicester

    It used to get used (pre-covid) quite regularly on Sunday mornings between Wigston North and Kettering North. I've been on a train more than once on a sunday morning that did it.

    RealTimeTrains website

    This is just showing the normal timetable like any other day because the service has not been cancelled yet. The full timetable isn't uploaded for individual days, it is uploaded for the whole timetable period with trains amended on top of this.

    York station announcement mentioning the wrong TOC?

    The train was actually in the system as a CrossCountry service, so that is why it was announced as such.

    Trains all at a stand in the Manchester area... (Thursday afternoon 06AUG2026)

    Manchester ROC also controls Basford Hall Junction, fringing to Crewe SCC to the north and Rugby ROC Stafford Workstation to the South. This is the junction just south of Crewe where the Independent Lines diverge, so if that workstation is closed/unavailable you basically cannot run trains...

    RealTimeTrains website

    A non-direct route which no train will ever use, its an issue in the back end data which causes the mileage engine to think there is no other route when a train is timed at Corbetts Lane Junction.

    RealTimeTrains website

    Carnforth Station has train describers to an extent, as it has approaching berths and last sent berths (which do actually step in relation to a Barrow or Skipton bound train departing the station) with the fringe to Preston. The "At Platform" appears when a headcode is interposed in an...

    OpenTrainTimes – Manchester Piccadilly Signal Layout

    The map is drawn incorrectly. Signal 337 is not alongside Signal 349. The points at the Manchester end of Mayfield Loop join to the Down Slow just before Signal 349. I believe Signal 337 will not clear until Signal 349 is showing a proceed aspect.
