It all kicked off with the discovery of a cracked crossing nose in the main to main crossover at Tallington. This closed the Down Fast while emergency repairs were caried out. This left the Down Slow available for all Northbound trains and when a freight train was routed that way, it broke down...

I am led to believe there is some demolition work going on at Queensland Road. I am also led to believe that some remedial work is being done to the roof of the DC traction supply building.

In response to Ajax 103's question(s) I might be able to shed some light on the TOWS through there. I think the Sectional Appendix might be slighty out of step with reality in this location, but that can only be confirmed or disputed by the author of that document. In reality, there is a TOWS...

We spoke about this over a year ago, OT. I haven't had chance to make contact with the gentleman yet, as it is getting harder for me to "Escape" for a day to investigate new technology. I do, however, have contact with another firm who are very close by, and might have the opportunity to...

And 1200 and 2100 are called T.I.D's in the new Ellipse maintenance system. Each line has a T.I.D. and the Up Slow might be 1100, the Up Fast 1200, etc. Don't quote me on those numbers, as I have used them as an example. If I was at work today I could have got out a piece of paper with them...
