EMR have/will have more 170 vehicles than originally planned... Originally 11x3car and 33x2car, 99 vehicles in total. Now* 17x3car and 27x2car, 105 vehicles. Same number of units, but 6 more 3 cars and 6 less 2 cars. In addition they have kept 26x158 for Liverpool-Norwich**, which requires...

It's not just the train regulation that has gone south since transfer to York ROC. Things like neighbouring signalboxes not being advised of possessions/line blockages that they have granted which go in to another boxes area of control. SBSIs not being followed which then causes problems on...

Yikes! Newly passed out signallers in our area are not allowed anyone with them, training or otherwise, for the first 6 months following passing out.

From my dealings with recent recruits/trainees is that it is the exception to have someone who cares about, or has an interest in the job. For most, it's "just a job" and a general indifference to it. Some have even been surprised that they have to work weekends and shifts.

Hence why I said what ran between Birmingham and Cambridge.

Around half of the trains on this route do not between Cambridge and Stansted anyway. The XC service is now generally every 2 hours between Cambridge and the Stansted Airport, with Cambridge to Birmingham being hourly except for 1 missing round trip (0922 ex Brum, and 1400 ex Cambridge)...

Assumng you are referring to today; the 1322, 1422, 1622, 1652, 1722, and 2022 all ran between Birmingham and Cambridge.

Only on a Saturday is the Aberdeen the last southbound departure from Edinburgh to Kings Cross. Mon to Fri there are later departures ex Edinburgh at 1830 and 1936. On a Sunday the last Aberdeen runs an hour earlier, departing Edinburgh at 1630.

There's 6 booked services (5 passenger and 1 ECS) over the Manton route daily Mon to Fri. I'm guessing they are all crew by Derby men, hence London not getting a look in?

The EMUs on the Corby services generally have around 23 minutes turnaround at St Pancras. The Meridians on the Nottingham and Sheffeild have as low as 10 minutes (1255 arrival forms the 1305 departure), but usually have around 40 minutes for the Nottinghams, and 23 minutes for the Sheffields...

LNER are bussing Corby-Grantham for a couple of weekends in January. You'd like to think that there won't be any 4 car formations then, but I suspect there will be.

1D81 (180106) was earlier delayed south of Peterborough with technical issues. Perhaps a reoccurrence of the fault?

There isn't a great deal of differentials between Peterborough and Ely. Welney Bridges being 60/SP75 the main one. It's the Ely to Norwich route that has the big differences. Ely North Jn to Lakenheath being 40/SP75 that has a big impact.

GC only diverted 2 of their services, the rest being cancelled, or heavily delayed. HT only ran Hull-Doncaster. 1702318373 Any idea why it took 45 minutes to attach the loco?

There has been plenty of overcrowding, particularly northbound, this morning as those who opted not to travel yesterday do so today.

Platform 3 at Grantham only takes 3 cars max. It also has an operating restriction on it so it isn't normally used anymore, though does see occasional use. Platform 4 needs to be kept clear for the Nottingham and Skegness trains.

Out of interest, does anyone know why 1F88 was delayed by 45 minutes at Peterborough? It shouldn't take 45 minutes to attach an assisting loco..
