1S26 in trouble tonight, TMS problems causing brake applications which in turn has caused wheel flats. Doesn’t look like it’ll get past Crewe.

Wow, coaches from Stafford to Glasgow.Terminated at Stafford.
That’s a direct consequence of the north Lowlander delay. Driver from that also works the Highlander from Preston to Crewe.I've never known so many problems with this service, almost every other day there's a delay of some sort, even the southbound highland sleeper is over an hour late.

I'm booked on the up Fort William service to return from a holiday in early August. I imagine it will be fine but talk of cancellations, busses and taxis has me wondering: in the event of cancellation, how is alternative transport provided to passengers from Corrour, such as myself on this occasion?
As I understand it, the normal approach is for something to show up at Corrour if at all possible when there's a cancellation, if only to ferry the stranded passenger up to Tulloch to meet a coach. The last northbound train reaches Corrour half an hour after the sleeper, presumably in normal operation if the sleeper doesn't run any intending passenger can be rescued by it.It isn't, as there is no way to do it. Same with Altnabreac.
If you're planning to board there you really need to be kitted out for a possible overnight stay and a Delay Repay claim for a full refund.

Sounds like a better option than a long taxi ride along estate roads. I wondered if the train companies had any kind of grandfather access rights across the estate and then I had a vision of dragging all the passengers from further north on a 2-hour off-road detour by coach.ferry the stranded passenger up to Tulloch to meet a coach

The estate road (11 miles long!) would be a possibility though even that would spit you out on the A86 somewhere in Glen Spean; there's not so much as a forestry track to the south.Sounds like a better option than a long taxi ride along estate roads.
And why is hauled stock built with software controlling the brakes? What's wrong with the time honoured and simple 2 pipe system?
Times are running with quotes from passengers,

Couldn't arrangements have been made for 1S37 (0531 Euston-Glasgow) to have made a special stop at Stafford?
Would have been a 90 min wait at Stafford but I bet the guests going by road didn't get to Glasgow by 1048!
Didn't happen according to RTT....

Simple logic (but maybe not cost driven decision making) would say - a good reason to keep a set of Mk3 sleepers spare for longer over the transition period, but pics in the railway press show them being cut up ASAP. Maybe there are some spares?Is all the new stock available for service with coaches being rotated on the lowlander? What the service implications for tonight and beyond of last night issues?
