Am I the only one who doesn't recall any rain at all?

No, I havn't seen rain for 2 months, nothing but blue skies and the odd cloud. hehe, maybe I should change my location, lol

Bah now I have rain anyway

GNER train services between London Kings Cross and Leeds are now being diverted to York not calling at Wakefield Westgate and Leeds.

There is also a severe flood warning north of Doncaster, so it's possible that might change too.

Just to add to this, there is a big storm happening atm around South Yorkshire, East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire..

Kingsbury to Water Orton is still closed, trains are diverting via the Kingsbury Curve and Whitacre Junction.

Today, all I got was really dark stormy clouds but nothing. Maybe it all waited for the midlands to **** on. Saving good old Hertfordshire

Unwelded track aswell! Don't think i've done it before on a service train.
Some high water levels in Water Orton/Burton/Rotherham/Shipley areas, luckily no further closures though

Pleasantly surprised 0703 Brum-Edinburgh only 35 down arrival into Leeds, delayed at Water Orton for route through Whitacre and then TBW Wakefield-Leeds. GNER abandoned Doncaster-Leeds (despite NT 321s going through!), were running Doncaster-Hambleton-Leeds shuttles, but gave up with this about 1600, like you do!!

Hmmm, slightest bit of rain and everyone North of Watford panics

On the contrary, anyone South of Watford without a drop of water for a few days panics and screams "HOSEPIPE BAN" 8)

And in Bournemouth we've not had a hosepipe ban.... :mrgreen:
