Theres been some sort of signalling issue affecting Southern, Thameslink and London Overground between New Cross Gate and Norwood Junction.
NRE states that this will have to be looked at overnight, and my assumption would be that the issue is on the fast lines as no stations are being skipped...
Reminder: This is not a discussion about DOO or Guards on SWR trains.
Since SWR have cut all services from Dorking/ Guildford via Epsom, theres clearly going to cause problems on Southern.
Dorking goes from 4tph to 2tph
Boxhill goes from 3tph to 1tph
Leatherhead/Ashtead go from 6tph to 2tph...
When the TL full timetable is running, what will happen with all the GN units? This excludes the Moorgate Lines as they will use their own fleet of 717s.
They don't need 29 387s and some 365s (I know the 365s are slowly being withdrawn) just for the Kings Lynn Fasts.

It is a four track relief line with stations at Luton & Dunstable Parkway and Newport Pagnell. Brent Cross is for EMT and Thameslink only.
What do you all think?
I see the Southern Website has had an upgrade, and is similar to the Thameslink one. I found the old one easier to use. Thoughts?

So far, not much Winter forecasting, but I'm hearing some stories of a bad winter coming.
What passenger trains are best in the snow?
I heard that slam-door stock is better than modern, and something else about 455s being better than 377s and 450s, is this true?
Do TOCs have emergency...
The Class Number has not been confirmed, but here is the new chat! Only 3 years left anyway!:lol:

Vote in the poll and talk about whether they are good or bad.
I believe they are good, increasing capacity closer to terminals, and serving more stations further out.
Services for Christmas Day are showing on RTT and NRE. Nothing Regular, and is not a full service put on by accident, except the GW ones, look like normal timetable.
