Just thinking about coming days. With temperatures unlikely to get above freezing for much of the week, and only marginally above if they do, seems to me that there is a pretty decent chance of service being ruined until Sunday afternoon - effectively nothing today, strikes Tues & Weds, Thurs...

Seems that the signal failure at Tunbridge Wells which started yesterday afternoon (3pm ish) still hasn't been fixed - anyone have any ideas why it's taking so long? Seems very unusual.

I would not bank on this being the case at all. Even if the strike were to be called off, it is likely far too late to adjust timetables/diagrams/rosters to run anything like a normal service.

SE issuing do not travel advice for this morning

Tell me how many people in the private sector are getting pay rises in line with inflation. Not many! Most would be thankful to get 4%.

SE have done this relatively recently I believe. It is usually Hastings services via Redhill, Kent Coast via Maidstone East or Otford, however.

OC attribution code meaning - Signaller including mis-routing (not ERTM /ETCS related)

Not sure, but it was certainly a 375/9 due to the 3-2 seats.

I travelled on a 375/9 yesterday evening, and noticed that plug sockets (a 3-pin plug, and 2x USB ports) had been fitted next to every seat. Foolishly I forgot to take a picture. Is this new, and part of a broader retrofit? Travelling on SE daily I’ve never noticed this before on any of the 375s.

Power lines on track. (Pic from NR)

Having fared relatively well thus far, Southeastern appears to have entirely fallen apart this afternoon - incidents on all their routes, even HS 1.

Been on a handful of 375s during this and, luckily, all have been like ice boxes.

Thanks! I thought this, but trains have been running through the platform all evening with the TIII in the block…

Could anyone explain what the descriptions in platforms 1 & 3 at Orpington this evening mean? (*CUT & TIII) Thanks in advance!

Looks like everything re-opened by 11am

SE not running anything before 7:30am on the non-strike days.

This, from 2009, suggests that "The Class 465 Hitachi IGBT based traction equipment, has been developed from technology used on Metro trains in Japan and China and has been designed to mirror the space envelope and weight characteristics of the original, obsolete system"...

Thanks!

Is Thameslink fully ATO now, in the core?

Do southern have any dual voltage diagrams now the MK route is gone?
