The mml is 3 track from sharnbrook, not far north of bedford Its gotta be about 60 miles quadruple track euston to roade on wcml south

If I had known you were there I probably would have done the same! But in all seriousness these trains have no priority at all from an operational point of view. Think yourself lucky these trains are even able to run on a near-capacity wcml

Impossible. Its pathing is extremely tight between rugby and nuneaton so I am led to believe

Hmm, thought all LM 350s for rugeley trent valley were 4 car..

No but its at the station which is what Tom stated ;)

50mph max speed within a possession. Why would they need a possession anyway?? Seems ridiculous to me

The chord is regularly used

They have the btp fatality hotline they can call (believe its 24hrs)

I believe whilst on trial in scotland a train cleaner accidently pressed the emergency group call button on a train in a depot, hence the poster that is on display. Virgin have gsmr on their fleet for wcml south

All I can speak for is the problems later on. This only affected one LM Crewe train (last one of the day) which DID divert via the West Mids. Think your facts may not be 100% correct?

I cannot properly comment as I do not know the exact type of crossing but if it full barriers worked by the signaller the lowering sequence takes place, the signaller checks crossing is clear, then presses crossing clear button which clears signals for the train on approach to the crossing. If...

Its sonething like 1/4 of the drink drive limit. So yes drinking the night before could well mean still being over the limit the next day

No its just an excuse, they felt like delaying trains for a laugh..

Luton is more populated than northampton and has one station, especially considering nearby dunstable is not served by railway

I must say ive never been questioned running an on time freight in front of a late passenger if there is the margin. Always try and keep the freights goin if I can! Especially if its a 90 on the front..

This is what I meant! But yes there should have been one on display at the crossing, though not exactly foolproof! (it may not be seen by the driver until virtually at the crossing due to curvature as an example)

The crossing attendant should have been showing a red handsignal at the crossing for the train. For an ahbc crossing the signals on approach can be cleared with the crossing on local control unlike a cctv crossing for example. However they should be maintained at danger to caution any...

Not necessarily. I prefer to not be a robot thanks!

Polesworth is a single platform on 4 track wcml

Think its 110 through bletchley to, plus if there are any esr/tsrs in place
