Yes, when I checked later it was showing both units https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C15719/2024-09-30/detailed hopefully not going to be common place going forward (certainly hasn't been something that has been an ongoing issue, Chiltern are very nimble with set swaps in...

Presumably Chiltern knew which unit was going where (though never say never :D) - do they manually input this into another system that feeds to RTT ? Just curious as it is usually spot on!

Out of interest any reason why are the allocations wrong on Chiltern Railways this evening? I'm on the 1830 Marylebone-Aylesbury Vale Parkway on 165039 but it's showing as 168110 . The inbound from Oxford was wrong too and I saw that the 1759 AVP apparently ran with 8 coaches which is not...

I noticed this too - I do not ever recall so many staff shortage cancellations! Especially since it was a reduced service anyway. They even cancelled the last train but did delay the last operating train to run to it's timing to avoid stranding anyone Has been a difficult week with flooding...

Doubel check the forum ticketing site - looks like splitting at Didcot significantly reduces the pricing for example

Something that prevents carrying passengers on LUL metal ? Most bizarre! They were having issues this morning too but we're managing to restart the Marylebone-Aylesbury Vale Parkway services right time at Aylesbury to keep things on time London bound

I had a few ticket checks close together on via Amersham services by the same RPI last year. One very early morning I'd forgotten to buy my ticket and he sold me it instead of a penalty fare which was very kind of him! But nothing since. This line is actually quite tricky to evade your fare as...

Is there any indication of what extra services these will be used for ?

Cheers both! 1718275341 Working now - thanks all!

I'm trying to search for a ticket from London Marylebone to Aylesbury Vale Parkway today and I'm getting error "Sorry, we encountered an error when searching for your ticket options Please try another search" I can search for say London to High Wycombe OK but Princes Risborough doesn't work...

1745 Oxford calls there off-pattern

IIRC there is a class 68 hauled service that operates Tu-Thur from Princes Risborough towards London in the morning but Mon & Fri that runs as a unit, presumably by adjusting other stock lengths. So a form of demand related adjustment. The clock face timetable didn't last long! Beaconsfield...

Looked like coaches today Aylesbury-Amersham (plenty waiting at Aylesbury I assume that is why) with various calling patterns on the diverted services to replace the cancelled shuttles in the southbound direction

Anyone know what has happened in the Aylesbury area? Met line services can't run toward London until later this week Tomorrow the plan seems to be to cancel the Aylesbury-Princes Risborough shuttles and use the single line to accommodate trains towards London non stop from Aylesbury which then...

Looks like there are a couple of extra trains for the peak- 1745 to High Wycombe and 1815 to Princes Risborough. Quite strange that the morning arrivals were nearly all 4 car, I imagine they were cosy even on a Friday & that won't work mid next week!

Oxford - Bicester Village shuttles and RRBS Bicester Village - Bicester North - Aylesbury With ticket acceptance on GWR / XC and Avanti shouldn't be too bad long distance especially if they run the 1tph in a long formation Stations like High Wycombe will struggle without some extra capacity...

I know train crewing is complicated but is it really not possible to check how many drivers you may have before you plan an entire overnight NYE train service which I'm sure many 100s of people have made plans around?

Well of course it'd be better to have enough stock to do it all but that isn't happening any time soon. I'm sure someone could do a proper analysis between tfl and Chiltern and figure out a way to reduce Chiltern services along the Met one way or another to free up some capacity for the...

Having been back on Chiltern for a couple of years now I actually think until they can get more stock they need to stop serving stations Chalfort & Latimer to Marylebone inclusive as well as some other inner London calls e.g. Northolt Park. This would allow a reduction in via Amersham services...

They don't have enough resources either, on Wembley event days they often don't run any trains via Amersham and replace them with buses, presumably to resource the increased service at Wembley Stadium. Far better to leave it to the Metropolitan line, those who need to can change en route
