Anyone know the root cause of this mess?

I assume this freight service, went through Carlisle on time but then lost 150 minutes just after (I assume at the top of the S&C) https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H16189/2024-07-23/detailed

Looks like this train came to grief: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:H16189/2024-07-23/detailed

Rescue 1Z99: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:92714/2024-07-23/detailed

So 6J37 Carlisle to Chirk (believe that's the log train?) seemed to have stalled after Peteril Bridge Junction and needed some help.

6K05 failed, 6J37 was stood awaiting it to be rescued back to Carlisle.

Three trains late is “chaos”?

Three trains late is “chaos”?

On a route that normally has 21 passenger trains a day, it's certainly notable.

Slower pace of life up north, reminds me of the Malibu advert

It's not that many, surely? Eight each way, plus the Ribblehead in the evening, makes 18.

Oops, must have miscounted! An odd number did sound wrong to be fair.

Funnily enough, I find trains on the S&C usually tend to turn up when you expect them to, whereas on the transpennine lines for example, you'd be lucky to make a connection on any day.

Or unlucky depending on how much of a rush you're in and your attitude to delay repay
