That's correct, they came back empty handed and today's moves to / from Pengam are caped.

Transport of the final three units (22, 29 and 46) will be undertaken next week. 046 will be the final delivery next Friday night. Hardly seems like 5 minutes have passed since the beginning of these moves!

220033 will see the mainline again next week. Albeit hauled by something else.

Couple of weeks' time the last 3 will be delivered. 046 will be the final unit to arrive in Newcastle.

Think beyond the immediate - I can assure you the Primrose Hill connection is an absolute godsend to those of us who need to plan stuff at short notice. There is simply no capacity for most of the day on the NLL between Kensal Green Jn and Gospel Oak.

I'm no structural engineer, but I have to admit when I first saw that update I considered it optimistic. Let's not forget it isn't just a case of the demolition work, but the repair / reinstatement of the OLE underneath.

As long as the proposed plans actually materialise once they've got rid of the station then this will undoubtedly be worth it in the long run. What I wouldn't want to see happen is the closure of a station mysteriously followed by the remaining bits of the project not happening due to lack of...

That's correct - the path I often use was already allocated to Colas' 6Z02, but this was academic anyway as there's a possession coming on relatively early in the Factory / Longhedge Junction areas. Solution to this is to go earlier but run via Wembley (to avoid NLL congestion). ECML is closed...

Provisional milestone for the line to reopen is Monday 9th Feb.

There's an echo in here!

Because of several stuck units already on the line, some without power or drivers, or perhaps both. And that's once you've checked the freight driver signs the alternative route and that their load is cleared that way too. I'd imagine the priority was given to passenger over freight for the...

For clarity, it is likely that displaced crew is only one piece of the puzzle today, as there were also so many trains misplaced, huge amounts of congestion caused by even more freight than usual being shoehorned onto the section of the NLL between Willesden Jn and Camden Road that would...

There was initially a huge area that ended up tripping, then required isolation for the fire to be tackled. Eventually things appeared to be restored in stages by earthing etc. Not my area of expertise! Unfortunately the building is severely damaged and the line directly under it will remain...

23, 26 and 45. 1770065543 Wednesday schedules now live, travelling via Wembley for various reasons. 6Q24 Dollands - Wembley https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R31648/2026-02-04/detailed 6Q25 Wembley - York https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:R31649/2026-02-04/detailed
