The King’s Cross work itself is postponed for a year but the possession proposed mentioned up thread for the August Bank Holiday weekend is going ahead. It will be a 48 hour block of Huntingdon/Shepreth Branch Jn to King’s Cross (Saturday morning to Monday morning), the purpose of which is to...

...and as suspected; “Due to Emergency water works on A501 Pentonville Road at the junction of York Way Bus routes 17,45,65,259,N63 are on diversion eastbound at the junction of Euston Road.”

Today’s issue has been problems with the track circuits south of St Pancras station, with trains being talked past TWH1031 and TWH1033, although one of these TCF’s has now seemingly rectified (or at least, hasn’t blipped in a significant time). 1031 is the signal at the south end of St Pancras...

Apparently there’s a retirement do.

From speaking to those who work in the train planning team, this week has been absolute hell for them. All of the senior team and planners have worked through the night every day, stayed late, worked at home in the evenings, etc just to get something for this weekend. There have been some real...

Not planned - during service disruption at Orpington a few months ago, Thameslink berthed a 700/0 overnight in Tonbridge. It had worked a Blackfriars to Sevenoaks service and was then due to head ECS to Orpington but couldn't. Fortunately the driver was a Southeastern driver who signed to...

1. GTR published the date only because NR absolutely promised that the timetable would be entirely uploaded on that Friday night. 2. Some are loaded and some are not because NR decided they were going to make further changes to what they had offered back to the TOC and promised to upload on that...

GTR departures from London Bridge will all be shown as cancelled tomorrow morning. As the station is exit only trains will arrive, passengers will alight and then the units will run ECS to the first booked station call en route, where they will pick up passengers and continue in service.

Comms and update about tomorrow expected very shortly.

I think I must have posted this on another thread, but yes August is the estimate. From what I have heard from people in the know, there are around 30 319 diagrams for this weekend coming and 12 377 units. Given that on past occasions 2 700 units have come in a fortnight and replaced like for...

Yes, August for 319s is the current plan.

Er, there will be more than 5 into June...!

CS expected to depart Euston as normal. Southern WLL suspended for the rest of today.

319s now expected to be around for another 3-4 months it would seem..

Sunday. From the people I've spoken to it should be mainly during the morning/early afternoon, but can't confirm. Keep an eye on realtimetrains/opentraintimes?

Yes, performing operational tests on all platforms. Similar to occur next Sunday via Worthing if what I have been told is still going ahead. Not their first visit down that way (last time was early February overnight I think), but most certainly first daytime visit.

Not 100% accurate... The broken down train off 2W91 was a 12 car FLU (700114) and the rescue train from Cricklewood was an 8 car RLU (700019 IIRC). 700s have been coupled before, although admittedly probably not by the drivers and fitters on the scene. That said, they coupled the units...

At one point on Friday morning, the 73 at Stewart's Lane was being prepared for use...
