Overhead wire damage between Doncaster & York 06/08 - Good service resumes 07/08

[gavin]

Due to damage to overhead wires, we are advising customers NOT to travel today. Your tickets will be valid for travel tomorrow.

Affected train is 1S14

 

[gavin]

It appears 1S14 has broken down NB line is currently blocked delays of up to 1hr 30mins

 

[E_Reeves]

Now reporting damage to overhead wires. VTEC advising not to travel today. Tickets valid for tomorrow.

 

[voyagerdude220]

Reported as indeed 1S14 involved, apparently it is suffering from a pantograph fault.

Edit: It's actually lost its pantograph. Extensive damage to the overhead lines on the down main has been reported by the driver of a freight train going in the opposite direction.

 

[gavin]

I'm guessing the HST's will go via Leeds or Ferrybridge where possible to keep a service running

 

[gavin]

thunderbird is now close to the affected train for a drag back to donny

EDIT They've actually sent it the long way presumably for a drag to York instead


VTEC tickets can be used on the following

TransPennine Express services between York and Leeds
East Midlands Trains services via any reasonable route
CrossCountry services via any reasonable route
Virgin Trains West Coast services between Scotland and York

Reminds me of that time an electric loco was sent to inspect the overhead wires which were down...

1z99?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

On Live Deoartures Kings Cross it says all on time though!

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

*Departures

 

[E_Reeves]

If 1z99 is the rescue loco, it has been sent the wrong way according to live track maps

Transpennine Express are of course diverting their Newcastle Liverpool services that way today as well.

Or not now, as the case may be...

Just been terminated at Sheffield, northbound, and now hoping to proceed on a diverted Cross Country service which will no longer call at Doncaster.

 

[Crossover]

We were meant to be doing the TPE divert as well, but the services are canned. We were meant to be on the 1310 from Sheffield Northbound which we've been turfed off and are now on a Northern to Doncaster

Reminds me of that time an electric loco was sent to inspect the overhead wires which were down...

Remember back in December at Northallerton
1E19 pulled wires down on up fast
185 reported all good from up slow
320 pulled wires down on the up slow...

 

[gavin]

With York pretty much full VT are holding 1Y35 at Darlington with everything else going through on P4

 

[gavin]

1E14 is currently held at Ferryhill

 

[gavin]

1E11 is the 1st southbound service through the area currently 61L

 

[800001]

1E14 is currently held at Ferryhill

On move south, just left 1415.

 

[gavin]

On move south, just left 1415.

Yes 1Y35 has just left Darlington 31L

1E14 is probably going to be held in Darlington until York gets some room

Same one that we were on. Now in the arms of CrossCountry, diverting via Goldthorpe.

 

[E_Reeves]

Oh, I see what they've done. Instead of having the rescue loco on wrong way working they have sent it round the long way, so may be dragged into York by the looks of it.

 

[wensley]

Assistance is going on the front, it's crossed over at Temple Hirst Jn now. SLW being planned for one train per hour over the Up.

 

[gavin]

2 VT services have got through the area running south 1E11 & 1E13

1 GC service through south 1A61

 

[221129]

XC diverting both ways via S&K unsure on the plan for GC at the moment as they have no paths available through the Single Line section.

 

[gavin]

1E95 now heading through the area

 

[yorkie]

I understand the Down Highland Chieftain has been diverted via Wakefield Westgate & Leeds, with a few forum members on it who are heading for York.

 

[Jake.Norman17]

Why are TPE services so badly affected even thought they don't run between york and Doncaster?

 

[gavin]

They are this weekend due to engineering work they are diverting via Doncaster & Sheffield on the Manchester Aiport to Newcastle runs

Or not as the case is at the moment
