In the Sectional Appendix it mentions "Copthall Jn, future site of" west of the existing Up Sidings. The fencing on the boundary between HS2/NR currently present in that area looks temporary to me and the ongoing works there continue right up towards the eastern side of Harvil Road.

Construction of this siding looks to be moving on now. Is it definitely not permanent? HS2 refer to "maintenance sidings". Will it be a new junction further west of the existing junction for the West Ruislip Up Sidings one...

Update from Chiltern yesterday: https://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/oxford-to-miltonkeynes

What will Chiltern use as rescue locos which have been particularly busy out of Wembley LMD in past few months?

They're all 246m long

Pretty decent place to breakdown as the rescue loco only has a few hundred metres to get there from Wembley LMD although there are issues with that loco also...

Vague update from Chiltern here: https://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/sites/default/files/files/timetables/Chiltern-RRfC-Report Apr25 v9.pdf

More photos from CML Network Rail here: https://x.com/NetworkRailCML/status/1746637005457334681?s=20 Complete mess this morning as the emergency timetable wasn't uploaded properly to online planners which were showing original data. Also CIS screens at stations showing normal timetabled trains...

Machines have appeared on Chiltern Line. Noticed them at Seer Green (see photo) and also Denham Golf Club. Might finally signal the demise of the Permit to Travel machine at the latter.

Found this hidden on the Chiltern Railways website with a rare YouTube video with more (limited) info: https://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/news/capacity-challenges-2023

Looks like freight has started running into the new sidings at the West Ruislip HS2 portal. Below being the first one in: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H37700/2023-01-26/detailed#allox_id=0 Looks like 1 train per day incoming then offloading through the night and back out...

Found this: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H28274/2022-11-17/detailed 1669029029 Think that Carto Metro map isn't quite right. The line below Park Royal Marcon goes further south east towards buffer stops so essentially a long siding...

Thanks a lot

Could someone help with this one please? 1Q16 Marylebone to Banbury today 0023

Thanks - sounds like using the old Wycombe Single as a long siding then.
