There was an incident in the Winsford area and two freight trains were stationary on the two track section, blocking both the up and down. The sleeper was held at Crewe and was in a position to divert via Manchester, however the driver didn't have the route knowledge, so it was stayed at Crewe...

It passed the Barking RailCam cams a short time ago.

1S95 cancelled (due to "operational incident) as a result.

It came from Doncaster (67007). There was a 67 sent from Peterborough but stopped at Grantham.

They were transferred to 1S18 and taken back to Newark.

Yes

S/B between Newark and Grantham now running but there have been at least 16 cancellations S/B so far.

1A63, now been hauled back to Claypool loop. S/B still not running though, N/B running under caution.

Looks like it was 159101, was only there for a couple of hours: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L57693/2022-03-14/detailed#allox_id=0 Checking RTT for other days, looks like it is a regular thing at that time.

My normal route is BSK-WAT, if I have a choice of a 158/159 or an EMU, diesel wins every time.

At this point in time, of the 7 Glasgow-Euston Avanti services scheduled today, 5 are running. So not quite as bad as suggested early in this thread.

Noticed that SWR are using a animated version of the 701 in their latest TV advert.

The OP hasn't been back since they posted around 3 weeks ago.

It's routine for other CCTV's (e.g. motorway traffic cams) to be taken offline when there is an incident.

I saw one live on RailCam at Crewe several months ago, someone running across the WCML than up the Chester line until they were caught by BTP. I was surprised the cams weren't taken offline.

Just saw the Avanti class 390 "City of Chester" pass through Crewe. Of course it can't visit Chester (unless dragged by a diesel), any others?

Salisbury to Exeter St. Davids (calling at Honiton) seems to be on a hourly schedule. The problem with the line, not allowing through trains from Waterloo, is the other side of Salisbury.

SWR was 3 x 159 (159014, 159017 & 159018).

I heard of someone coming to job interview at a location near Wokingham actually travelling to Woking.

There are two sorts of machines at Basingstoke, the smaller ones to the left as you walk in always gave me issues at barriers, especially Underground ones. The ones to the right hand side seemed to produce tickets that worked better.
