I've got a 403 again now.

Guess the rest of the site will be the same as that.. can't believe that service is now over 200 minutes late though!

I like it! A bit red though.
Click on any link at the bottom and you still get a 403 :P

That's a different train (!)

The old one was:

22:30 Cambridge to Norwich due 23:46
This train has been delayed and is expected to be 139 minutes late from Ely.
This is due to poor weather conditions.

This one is:

22:45 Cambridge to Bury St Edmunds due 23:30
This train will be delayed and is expected to be 200 minutes late from Newmarket.
This is due to poor weather conditions.

Let us spare a thought for those poor people trapped on poorly maintained 170s in the winter night, little do they know their journeys are the topic of discussion in an online forum....

Perhaps these very late running services have stopped to have new decals affixed!

Me and Skimble19 were right!

The BSE train is 220 minutes late now :P

It took 3hr 46mins to get from Dullingham to Newmarket.

 

[Skimble19]

It should've just arrived apparently

 

[bnm]

I suspect that CAM-BSE train has been PINED somewhere en route.....

 

[Skimble19]

Hmm.. it definitely doesn't appear to have arrived yet. Who knows..

 

[SprinterMan]

Website is back to:

An Error Was Encountered
This domain is not set up correctly.

 

[antharro]

Now getting "Test page for the Apache HTTP Server on RedHat Enterprise Linux". Standard "Hey Apache is working" page. Looks like they're rebuilding their web server!

 

[Skimble19]

Seems odd to rebuild your web servers at 3am on a Sunday.. oh well, better than it going down on Monday morning!

 

[GB]

Hmm.. it definitely doesn't appear to have arrived yet. Who knows..

Was held at Newmarket as points failed at Chippenham Jnc. Points in the process of being clamped so should be on the move shortly if not already.

Currently 5 DBS ballast trains sitting in a row at Stonea as box currently closed.

The online timetables use the same colours as NXEA did but use a different font which is a bit strange. They are no longer in that weird condensed font that 'One' introduced.

That has to be seen as something of an improvement.

 

[Bellwater]

In no particular order:

Midland Mainline
Central Trains
Silverlink
Wales & West
Wales & Borders
Wessex Trains
'One'
NXEC
NXEA
Scotrail
c2c
Gatwick Express
WAGN
Valley Lines

One and NXEA were the same franchise..

 

[ValleyLines142]

We have a wonderful start to the Greater Anglia franchise, not:

Electrical supply problems are causing disruption in the Seven Sisters area.

Because of this, the following alterations will apply until further notice:

Trains between Seven Sisters and Enfield Town / Cheshunt are currently suspended.
Trains that normally run via Seven Sisters are being diverted via Tottenham Hale.
Passengers are being accepted on London Buses, London Underground and First Capital Connect services on any reasonable routes.

A broken down train is causing disruption in the Hockley area.

Because of this, trains between Southend Victoria and Shenfield may be delayed by up to 60 minutes. There is no current estimate for a normal service to resume.

Terrible colours, that red and grey on the site are horrible.

I'm not sure what is worse, the colors 'one' brought in or the ones Greater Anglia have taken a liking to.

As for the Stansted Express logo then it looks about 20 years out of date.
