We've taken the track apart at Southampton and now we can't get it back together again, oh dear.

So that's why the Southampton Central - Manchester Piccadilly Voyager was delayed.... ;)

:lol: We were having trouble with a cross over, it was the same part but constructed differently, so it fitted into the gap correctly, but the sleepers were in the wrong place.
When i left, Salisbury and Southampton had just arrived to begin moving the sleepers, they have the road until 16:30, so should get it done in time, just depends on the welders.
They were having trouble with a Virgin somewhere last night before the block went down, maybe a unit ended up the wrong side of the block hence the delay.

Thats a shame. For a minute there I got my hopes up. I thought to my self, finally those people from Southampton will have to stay where they are. No more can get to London! Woo Hoo!

But its not to be :cry: :lol: :P ;)

So were your P-way gangs given Hornby set track instead of the usually Peco Flex and points, hence the mis match? ;) :roll:
