All services are currently subject to delays to/from Waverly due to an Incident between Musselburgh and Prestonpans

@ScotRail

Some VTEC services from London up to Edinurgh will be terminating at Berwick in order to keep a service running back south others will be suject to lengthy delays the Inverness train is currently held just south of Alnmouth it is likely to be at least 1hr late into Inveress tonight

1Z41, 1S15 and 1S16 are all starting to move north, so maybe the lines may be about to reopen?

The incident train (1E98) is now on the move.
It has been announced 1E22 (1600 EDB KGX) will make additional calls at Berwick & Grantham.

Does an incident like this where it's happened where only 2 lines are available (instead of other areas where 4 or more are in use) make the delay that much more and cause more issues to services in that area? Also does it impact the delay the location of the incident eg where emergency and clear up crews are based further away?

Could people at least say where these trains are going? I know I can look up head codes online but it is a pet hate that people only use them. (You are not the only one so not singling you out)

To save people looking it up 1E98 is 1447 Edinburgh - London KX

Apologies, it was intended more as a general "things are moving" post but:
1Z41- 09:15 Bristol TM-Edinburgh (Additional stops at Alnmouth and Berwick)
1S15- 11:30 Kings X-Edinburgh
1S16- 12:00 Kings X-Inverness "Highland Chieftain"- it's 50 late at Perth and it will only get later and later as it gets to the single lines north of Perth.

In many cases all 4 tracks are affected.

Have VTEC's HST's had supersonic engines fitted over Christmas?

I would imagine somewhere like that signallers have to manually input the times into the system. Which means that our intrepid signaller probably suffered fat finger syndrome and accidentally entered the arrival time of 1B62 (coincidently 1931) the 1850 Inverness to Edinburgh against the Chieftain.
