    Issue at Leighton Buzzard (14/12)

    Optimistically boarded a LNR service to BHM, in the hope that on the way they start stopping again at LBZ! What could possibly go wrong?

    Abellio wins West Midlands franchise

    The 350 PIS announcements have changed, I think - on arrival into EUS it said something like, “thank you for travelling with us today”

    Abellio wins West Midlands franchise

    Not a fan of the LNR logo. Looks like something you’d see on a small town’s sixth form college

    Apparently the operator names will be “London Northwestern” for the WCML Services, and “West Midlands Railway” for the rest https://www.globalrailnews.com/2017/10/27/london-northwestern-brand-to-replace-london-midlands-west-coast-services e: londonnorthwestern.co.uk and...

    Incident at Harrow & Wealdstone 25/10/17

    Genuinely don't know why they sent off a 4-car for all stops to Tring when they had a 12-car train on platform 18 and three 8-car trains on 8/10/11. Those four trains hung about for the best part of an hour until they sent off the 1852 an hour late..

    Incident at Harrow & Wealdstone 25/10/17

    So they send off a 4-car service to Tring, stopping everywhere after Watford And leave 2x8-car and 1x12-car on the platforms doing nothing? That doesn’t make much sense to passengers

    Incident at Harrow & Wealdstone 25/10/17

    They should just hand the franchise over now. They’ve basically thrown in the towel at Euston. Can’t they turn trains at WFJ? The Overground is fine. Meanwhile, 1 LM train has left in the past 45 mins..

    Major line-side fire between Wembley and Watford Jnc 15 Sept 2017

    Seen a few references to Tring - you could indeed use the two platforms there, but it's a relatively rural station, with limited bus service to the town with no room to turn/queue coaches, no disabled access etc You'd just drop people off and they'd have nowhere to go to that they couldn't get...

    Major line-side fire between Wembley and Watford Jnc 15 Sept 2017

    Curious to know.. normally when there's a building collapse etc it takes a while to assess and make safe I don't think this fire was on NR land, so do they have some powers to demolish/rebuild retaining walls if it's likely to cause a safety issue? Or is it something insurers get sorted...
