I saw one of the Royal 67s leaving Wembley this morning.. about 0845

Another 345 at Willesden this evening, didn't catch the number

LMs wifi appears to be switched on now This message was posted on it :)

I spent about six months doing Gerrards Cross to High Wycombe in the peaks, a leisurely 15 miles is or so. Paid for by my employer as a relocation expense, always a seat, plenty of services in each direction, was quite a relaxing trip :)

I think Euston underground needs more emergency exits - getting six platforms into two escalators is unworkable, especially when they drop down to one next month. I don't know whether the down escalators were switched off and used as stairs, I guess if staff aren't around it's up to us to press...

I was caught up in the mess at Euston last night. Got off a train to a full platform and emergency evacuation announcements. It struck me how long it took to get out. Approx 20 minutes from train to mainline station. Meanwhile, more trains stopping behind. I think it would have been quicker to...

I'm surprised there isn't a standardised list of 'reasons'. It would seem sensible to have an approved list rather than describing it in a random way which may be misunderstood..?

RAIB @raibgovuk tweeted on Friday that they were gathering evidence on site. Guess that counts as a formal announcement these days :)

From that Daily Mail link, "Benedict Jnr" was not on a 350 was he?

Plenty of photos on the Watford Observer site now http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/stalbans/14747514.Hundreds_rescued_and_four_injured_after_train_derails_near_Watford_Junction/?ref=mr&lp=1

http://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/statement-regarding-incident-on-the-west-coast-main-line-near-watford Guessing it collided with the 0634 service to Birmingham New Street http://www.opentraintimes.com/schedule/P65994/2016-09-16

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/P64250/2016/09/16/advanced http://www.opentraintimes.com/maps/signalling/lec2 Guessing it's in the tunnel or partially in it? Be a lot of people on board with no mobile signal. Hope they can be rescued quickly.

Bump I wanted to use SN for a journey from Leighton Buzzard to Wembley tomorrow, via LM/LO it will take a lot longer. Are the services to Milton Keynes still being curtailed?

I don't think it would be that tricky (but very time consuming!) to work out the positions of each berth on a Google Maps layer, draw the main routes on it, then find the train positions from the berth information used by opentraintimes etc, then interpolate the train position along the berth...

Well, credit to LM for this one, well handled this week. Not sure it would have been so smooth had it been somewhere further south though!

The land slip is between Leighton Buzzard and Bletchley isn't it? North of Ledburn affecting the up slow?

I wonder if they would have expected an ambulance or fire engine to wait a couple of minutes.. Blocking the road is totally unacceptable

LM's 2B10 has failed at Tring platform 5 and up slow services are running through platform 4, so there's your chance to travel over that northern junction for platform 4 :D Also .. another 319 failure! LM should have kept the 321s ..

If you are not hiring a car (not really necessary in Marbella) then the airport service operated by Avanzabus is efficient and reasonably priced.

Thanks Silverlinky. It just feels so amateur. Surely LM would have known the state of the 319s before they got them; this mini cascade has been in the running for a year. Losing some 350s unexpectedly is fair enough, but why let the 321s go until all the 319s were ready for passenger service?
