Yes, 3 planned reverse sidings at OOC 1780654055 Yes, 3 planned reverse sidings at OOC

On the eastern side of the Elizabeth line they are displayed on the platform screens so passengers can move to less full carriages before boarding (if they want to)

Watford Junction also gets a steady flow of tourists to the Harry Potter studios all day, every day.

Not anymore. T4 is pretty busy even with 4tph

Would you then split 2 Hex trains to T4 instead? I don't think 2tph to T4 is sufficient.

Overground and EL are fortunate in getting both Priv and 2 Oyster cards

They do it at Maidenhead with 1 member of staff in 2 minutes, sometimes a freight is pathed a couple more minutes behind.

How about a whole wardrobe on the overground? What could go wrong?

Except the Elizabeth Line rest day working agreement expires on 28th Dec and currently isn't going to be renewed.

The train drives in auro reverse with the DRA set. However, when it returns to the Eastbound platform the doors don't open until the driver livens the cab.

Wow, 3 trains all booked to be going to the same place at the same time. The peculiarities of our railway never cease to amaze me.

I guess it's just a quirk I'd expect more at bigger stations. However, with only 4 platforms that's trains leaving simultaneously on 75% of the platforms.

We've been told Network Rail have made the decision to delay the introduction of ETCS Stage C. The stage will still go ahead; however, this will now only happen when Network Rail Western transition to a ‘no signals’ railway (i.e. Marker boards only). No formal date for delivery has been agreed...

Or you could stay on the GA train to London Liverpool Street and change to Elizabeth line to Reading from there. It is a slightly further walk than changing at Shenfield or Stratford but in my experience the lifts have been more reliable.

The Elizabeth Line already has diagrammed driver changeovers at Maidenhead, Paddington Low Level and Gidea Park

No. Also, drivers are not allowed out in Westbourne Park without being escorted.

The OHLE was switched off from Pad to Maidenhead neutral section.
