Seems over the last few weeks platform dispatchers have had real problems with passengers related to the CIS.
The 2037 WGC train arrives onto the platform at about 2020 which the CIS displays as the 2032 Hertford North.
Passengers board this train thinking it's the Hertford North service...
I remember seeing the 325 unit at Finsbury Park most days in the summer around 2pm ish waiting on platform 5.
Not sure of the exact time think between 2:30pm and 3:30pm
I was working at very very big financial company in the city and someone (Against the Company procedures) had written an app to pull info from the NRE site.
I only found out as when I tried to go to the NRE website it gave a message saying access to this site is blocked.
It worked ok from my...
Arrived at New Southgate today at 06:27 after checking FCC website.
Emergency Timetable in use - trains from New Southgate to Moorgate 06 and 36 mins past.
Platform 1
The CIS showed 07:28 Kings Cross On time.
some passengers on the platform miss read this to be a few mins wait, then...
I thought we would be getting more than 2 trains per hour to WGC from Moorgate.
After 7pm there is only 2 trains per hour to New Southgate have i misread the timetable.
It wasn't a 313 for sure, it was half sticking out of the shed, i did a 'double take' saw the London Overground roundel thought it was a London Underground one and looked back.
This was at 13:18 today.
Today around 14:20 no trains from Finsbury Park to Moorgate due to a broken down train at Drayton Park.
Yesterday at the same time there was also a broken down train.
saw about 6 cancelled services apparently due to the failed train.
Was it the same train?
The London Metro 19/8/2010 page 24 has a picture with a caption "A rescue worker inspects the mangled carriage after a passenger train hit a tanker"
But the photo shows someone spraying (probably) disinfectent :|
A few months ago I arrived at Moorgate at 1856 for the 1912 which was showing as On-time.
Some handmade signs taped to the wall said that there are problems to trains via Hertford North and to make alternate arrangements via Tube and bus, and that the service to WGC was not effected.
at...
Misreporting on FCC
The below message seems to suggest the delays will only be between Hertford North and Moorgate, however nowdays the return train after arrival at Moorgate (from Hertford North) turns round and goes to WGC
i.e. The 08:05 from Moorgate to WGC is delayed and is shown to...
Hi,
Anyone know what route the BR trains took in 1964 to get from Moorgate to Potters Bar as seen in this photo.

As can be seen Moorgate is in the open.

London Underground's David Leboff offers a guided tour round St Mary's in East London, which closed in 1938, and is one of the tube network's least well-known or visited disused stations.
St Mary's is one of the...
On the 19th March there was a points failure at Alexandra palace.
At 1300 on arriving at New Southgate for my train the 1307 whizzed past at about 1304 on the fast line.
The platform next train indicators showed the 1307 as cancelled as well as the 2nd train 1327 to Moorgate also...
At New Southgate (Same for Oakleigh Park) there is no mirror on the fast up to London platform (Platform2), on a few occasions the 08:34 and 09:02 (8 Car) will be routed to platform 2 and sometimes it stops and sometimes not.
We've been told this is a decision made by the driver if they...
Anyone know what the extra equipment is for on the track between Harringay and Finsbury park.
Some sort of fence with flashing beacons between the goods and slow line.
