    Heatwave 22-27 June - effect on the UK Railway

    I work in HE part of the time and tomorrow's Departmental meeting has been cancelled and is now remote. I suppose, travelling in only exacerbates Climate issues and pollution. But more importantly, there are bound to be issues later today onwards to Thursday.

    Bi-Directional Working Policy

    Last year I was surprised to realise Platform 3 at Stafford was Bi-Di as a southbound Oil Tanker train went through. Obviously things have changed since a remodeling (Norton Bridge have anything to do with this?) , but in the 80s and 90s (my last time there before April 2025) I'm sure it wasn't...

    1H30: 09:45 Moor Street to Marylebone ( Chiltern)

    This is a general question about this particular Chiltern service, 1H30, the stock available and if there’s are any similar services which appear to be overcrowded after the rush hour. As this is not classified as a peak time rush hour service, why Chiltern trains cannot add an addition unit...

    Signalling issues : Marylebone Thursday 27/11/25

    Chiltern trains are not going into Marylebone due to a cable theft this morning. All trains terminate/start at West Ruislip. My train ( 1H30) is currently held at Gerrard’s Cross. Apparently, we should get moving soon. It’s creating a lot of problems on the Chiltern Line. I was told a cable...

    Reservations and confusion on Avanti

    I didn't realise they were all up the spout last Sunday. Might be a factor for later trains and a lack of crews. As I said in the OP, the 18.13 had been cancelled.
