Hi All
Just to let people know who may be travelling on the ECML today, that the Down line (Fast at least) has got a broken rail between Newark Northgate and Retford and trains are backed up as far back as Peterborough as the line is closed. Not sure if this affects the up lines as well at the moment
I am on 1D73 - the 1448 GC to BDI and we have been informed by the very helpful staff who have been advised by York control, as why we may shortly come to a stand. There is talk that they are trying to find staff with required route knowledge (or "staff who are conversent with the route" as the guard said) to divert via Lincoln on this diesel service. I would guess EC are going to be completely messed up though for the time being.
I'll try and post more info as we get told it by our TM.
