Ah! I had Southern Belle and Royal Scot. I also recall a signalling one based on the old Rugby PSB.

I could not recall any issues on WCML from the time, but I thought I may have missed them, or the media wasn’t overly interested in the railway alongside the rest of the incident. 1742418265 Thanks Yorkie.

Most will recall the Buncefield fire and explosion in December 2005. Where there any impacts on the WCML, or was it far enough away from any danger of damage? I imagine there were some delays? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-34919922

Scumbags. Who throws a brick at a train but one of them?

Delays at Euston. “ Incident” at Bushey, according to the screens. I hope it’s not serious. I an at Euston now. It seems like things are working ok. Although it is a bit crowded.

Cheers for that , good to know.

Is there an age limit overall for signallers? Sorry if I’ve missed this?

Would a drugs or alcohol test be done? Or was it a member of the general public arrested?

What happened here? Anyone heard anything about this incident at London Bridge? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c86wgd842j1o

I read on the Express and Star website, that Trent Valley is blocked by a land slip. Anyone know exact location? Someone said near Polesworth?

A friend of mine at Lye was told , the Friday before last a train had already left, going to Shirley. It hadn't arrived (luckily). Just use Traksy.

Trains got started at around 21.00. I was allowed to use my ticket on 20.06 Avanti (9G43).

I’m at Marylebone, hoping to get to Dorridge. No trains north of Banbury. ‘Accident on the line’ someone suggested. Anyone have any info?

'Nobby Clark' should have been in a Beatnik band. Nobby Clark and the Hymeks.

Me and my mate talked about this yesterday. We had an overnight stay and night out in Harrogate (from West Mids). One of our mates took a lift with his brother, as he said the trains were "a waste of time". We reminded him it was a better run system than Germany's (they have 63% punctuality...

I've argued for further electrification of freight routes or at least those routes with extensive freight operations. This has to be the way forward as the railway has to gain credibility for being a 'greener' way to travel. of course, not all and deisel or hybrid engines will still be needed...

Agree with this and it was (kind of) my argument. Much of the chaos was caused by passengers on the platform, who didn't have the capacity , patience or requirement to hang back for another train. But people without any railway education will see it and bash the railways 9 times out of 10.

Always use Traksy at Euston. Did this in July getting a Wolverhampton train. Knew the op number and saw it at the platform. Sauntered down 20 mins before platform was announced and got my seat ( not the Eltonesque double one.).

My thread about the problems with XC at Leeds, today, encapsulate these thoughts and fears. 4 car Voyager from Edinburgh to Birmingham NS. It was going on to Plymouth. Earlier cancelled service meant this train was packed to the rafters. People in the bike racks. For £40 plus? Waiting for next...

I’ll have a try once home. Finally seated at Sheffield and have now just left Tamworth. So nearing the destination.
