Southern are reporting a train on fire between those two stations, although despite claiming the lines are blocked, services are still moving anyway? I can't see what service it could be either, the only one not moving is 5Y41 which is a Southeastern ECS move. From Southern's Twitter...

So, I've noticed that 165020 is allocated and appears to be running a few WMR services today between Dorridge and Snow Hill. Are the services meant to be under Chiltern and we're put under WMR as a mistake? Because they appear to be regular WMR services short term altered to be Dorridge/Snow...

So, in a video posted by Sky News today, showing the PM at Derby Litchurch Lane, showed a new Aventra incomplete behind him. However it's not one of the new 345s, it's 720 length and also has red doors. Are GA getting more 720s? I wasn't aware of any more Aventra's being built after the new...

Figured I'd combine this all into one thread instead of it being spread across multiple. I am just wondering what the status is with the few Turbostars which are currently long term stopped? These being: - 170270, OOU since October 2025 - 170623, OOU since it's level crossing incident in March...

So, I've noticed there's an extra working in the timetable this week, being 1A49 from Marylebone to Aylesbury. It's showing as unadvertised and I can't see any reason why they'd run it? There's no event going on at Wembley, at least today anyway, nor is there anything else going on in the...

Not yet, no path for it to return yet either.

Since the original thread for this has been long closed, have had to start this one. So, I'm a little confused as to how the S7+1s are nowadays. As far as I'm aware, there is still one set in service, 21323/21324. As I understand it, 3 sets were made up to 8 cars by taking 1 car from 3 other...

So, there seems to be something slightly weird going on currently. Services seem to be stopping all along the Chiltern network? I noticed 2C40 stopped at Aylesbury at first and just assumed that maybe the unit broke down and was being swapped, but then noticed 2H35 from High Wycombe not going...

So, these still have their Chiltern interiors, and I was wondering if this will be changing any time soon? Another point is that I've noticed the /1s are staying out of service for lengthy periods of time at the moment, is this interior related? 172102 was out for two months and came back...

So, something I've always wondered, is this not allowed? I only ever see 6 car formations being the longest on this route, however then on the other hand, I saw with my own eyes a 7 car formation a few years ago. Asking today, because Chiltern are having to replace a 3 car 165 with a 2 car for...

So, I've noticed that Chiltern are running a unit ECS from Banbury Depot to Stratford UA on the 15th, with it shunting to "Stratford Upon Avon East" and then back to Banbury Depot. But, what actually is Stratford UA East? At first I just assumed it would be to the signal on the approach to the...

Would these just be driver training runs or someone of that sort? They've been running all day and are scheduled to all week by the looks of things, stopping at all the stations a normal service would. They're being ran by 168327 today.

While looking at photos on flickr, I came across two of 168/1s working with both Thames Trains 166s & 165/1s. I assume they were leased for a while? What would be the reason though? Photos in question: https://www.flickr.com/photos/85304690@N05/42033949525/...

165019 is currently on its way back from Doncaster, has it been refurbished there? That's what I guessed initially however it hasn't been there for very long...

Spotted an interesting path for today. (5J71 0650 Tyseley L.M.D. to Aylesbury D.M.U. Depot) It ended up being cancelled, just like the return path will tomorrow, however, I was wondering what the reason was for this to be put in the system in the first place? If a 172 needs maintenance I would...

Is there an issue with this section of track today? On websites like Traksy & Signal Maps, everything is fine up until Bicester North/Oxford Parkway, in which it then cuts off and is frozen on what was showing last night. RTT isn't reporting for anything on these sections either.

So this has happened twice tonight. Currently there is a signal failure at Chorleywood however I don't know if it is related. Starting with 2B52 earlier, it got cancelled at Chalfont & Latimer, with RTT saying due to an issue with the safety systems. It then ran ECS to Great Missenden as 5B52...

Right, to sum it up, over the past week or so there has been 3 68 failures over the CML, all of which have (1 currently is still ongoing) taken at least a few hours to solve, with rescue locos being required for each. Causing as you'd expect, a lot of disruption. Is there a specific reason as to...

Is there any reason as to why there's been a 66 stabled in the siding at High Wycombe for a few weeks now? Thunderbird?

Ok so tonight is now the 4th time this year that this line has been closed down, the first time it was due to a cracked culvert, can't quite remember what the second time was for, and the 3rd and 4th time are now due to heavy flooding. It seems a bit ridiculous now! All I'm wondering is what can...
