Flooding near Bruton between Castle Cary and Westbury too. For an hour or so, both routes between Taunton and London were blocked.

Not on a Sunday, 55 minutes turnaround then.

Poor offsets/berth steps assigned to the offsets it looks like. NR seem to have a habit of having poor understanding of how the berth stepping works. Redhill 2 up direction is fairly common for doing this, however only if you arrive into the platform on a red signal.

Tomorrow it isn't TBW on the fast lines, just on the slow lines where it is 3tph. On the fast line signalling is via the override system and it is supposed to be 4tph EMT and 1tph GTR. The service EMT are not running is the Corby, not sure if its a train shuttle or a bus shuttle from Kettering.

It's been TBW on DFL, UFL and USL since this morning. From 1500 it was swapped from UFL to DSL to allow an extra 2 tph Thameslink to Bedford I believe.

The HSTs still have a quiet coach.

It is, during the Bromsgrove closure the attachment comes off 1M41 1007 ex Paignton which terminates at Bristol Temple Meads. The reason why the Dundee is a 221/220 and not a 220x2 during the closure is because it now formed by the 0828 from Penzance because of the extended journey time...

There is a train booked to do just that, 58 and half minutes.

Southern Daysave is still available. Go to the Southern website and press the yellow "Buy Rail Tickets" button and then on the pop up above the from/to, etc is a button saying 'Daysave'. Click it and you can then specify your starting station and date of travel.

On the topic of this, a train being in a platform will be recognised by a headcode being in a particular train describer berth and therefore the announcement will play as long as the train is present in this particular berth. Obviously you'll always be in this berth if you are in the platform...

Crossrail will be different it seems. The sidings at Westbourne Park will have, as has already been mentioned, a system called Auto Reverse. This allows the train to drive itself into and out of the siding, during this time the driver can walk back through the train to the other cab. It is...

Looks like the last train through before buses start, so presume runs fast to get through the area before engineering possessions are taken.

It'll be because of different arrangements for boarding trains at Paddington, all the long distance services get 'Ready to leave' announcements and also disappear off the boards a bit earlier than the local services I think. Dependent on the boarding requirements the assignment of the branding...

I've had that print on an East Midlands Trains only advance. A bit odd given it makes it sound like its valid on connecting trains of any operator, which isn't the case for that ticket. Printed from an EMT collection only machine at Derby.

Nothing weird about it, data feeds were down this morning.

No worries, I know exactly what you mean :lol: Ah that's interesting with Reading, learn something new everyday!

Poorly worded post on my part, made it sound like TPWS does stuff it doesn't. I should have said by having the outer signal at red this results in TPWS checking the train speed, as TPWS, in this situation, would only check the train speed if the signal ahead (the outer signal) was at danger...

The signal in rear (outer signal) will still clear to a proceed aspect on approach whatever the speed of the train. The TPWS grids are placed just before the boundary of the track circuit that releases the signal, which allows the TPWS to check the train speed is below the trigger speed, and...

This should not happen, if you come across this please report it - drop me a PM on if thats easier. Anytime a report is not received for a location RTT should report "N/R" or "No Report". RTT should only ever report a passing time at what would be a station stop in the circumstances I...

Incorrect. An arrival time and a departure time have both reported, however the arrival time has reported an arrival after the reported departure time. In normal circumstances this suggests a train not stopping, therefore RTT marks it as a pass time, the time shown is a calculated passing time...
