Amendments have been made to Rule 1:

Temporary disruptions, such as landslips or flooding, should be ignored unless the disruption period exceeds one month.

In the event of long-term engineering works, these should be ignored unless they span a timetable period and are noted in the National Rail Timetable. Station closures less than a month long should also be ignored.

As ever, these come into effect after the current leg is completed.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
With regards to this new adjudication, there are two cases of current Network Rail engineering works that do span a timetable period:-

1)....Holme Tunnel on the Copy Pit line. Saturday, 9th November 2013 to Friday, 28th March 2014.

2)....Pont Briwet bridge on the Cambrian Coast line. A date of 2015 is the current official view on the new bridge opening.

To add to this, the current 'temporary disruption' will last for more than one month:
Ockley landslip, reported 26th December, expected to be repaired by early February, thus Horsham-Dorking is still out of bounds until reopening.

The Carlisle-Workington and Isle of Wight closures are currently expected to last less than a month, so are out of bonds for this leg only, after which the new ruling comes into force.

I am a little unsure as to the position with Machynlleth-Harlech, does anybody know whether this is expected to last more than a month? Clearly the line north of Harlech is out of bounds for a good while yet, as per Paul's posting.
