I think they finished it a couple of weeks back. All the machines have since disappeared.

Prep work indeed. The judge is still to give is decision on the appeal. Chiltern commented that this guy may then still be able to appeal the appeal too. But they would probably be minded to start work if the result of this appeal goes in their favour.

That is *exactly* OBRAGs fear - that Chiltern would prefer for all the Oxford resignalling work (which *does* inpact on the junction at the Oxford line onto the main line - the one the freight use) to be added into the closure & thus lengthen it.... The work had already gone from around 12-15...

So did that Mk3 rake at Wabtec get transferred to Moor Street last night? Can anyone confirm?

Interesting - I guess there's a *lot* of training to be done for the Chiltern staff on these new doors....

Chiltern have said that the first set is duie into service in November, so I doubt it's coming back yet....

That'll be it until Oxford-MYB comes on stream, is my guess.

Agreed. But those coaches won't all be out of works with plug doors before the OLympics, and maybe later...

Interesting! Chiltern publicity elsewhere is mow saying £10 for those, this won't last long however, if its shown as free in the printed TT

Not this week, no. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- None on Monday, either.

Unlikely, it seems, from reports on the ground, they're fairly well ahead right now. BUT, they have said that their late-night amendments with buses after 2220 WILL continue next week, as they're taking the opportunity to do a lot of tamping so there's no delay & line speed amends when the...

You are right on the Sept 4th comment, but wrong on your second - the OP refers to services *next week* not after 4 September!

Should be out in book form tomorrow

Just covering their options welll

The Kiddy trains in the morning form a big part of the birmingham rush hour. Too many to load/offload in birmingham to produce decent end-to-end running times. The power doors may help. Chiltern have yet to decide whether to run those after the doors are fitted west of Moor Street in the morning.

They've offered that for years!

No. Basically, far more expensive to run than either clubman or turbo. More are planned for weekdays, once clubmans are needed for the planned Oxford services

Try them again, that probkem is ssid to be fixed. I found the seats rather hard & uncomfortable for trips of over an hour

There it states "We are informed that holders of 'anytime any permitted' First Class return tickets from Birmingham to London will be able to travel without further supplement."
