Paddington Low Level itself? You can see both Eastbound and Westbound platforms at the same time, plus the trains usually sit there for slightly longer than the other stations either being terminated or entering service. (Not this weekend though as there is no service between Abbey Wood and...

Quite predictably, this decision has been partially reversed, and Ilford, Gidea Park and Shenfield depots are having Hayes to West Drayton putting back onto licenses for contingency purposes. Should mostly be complete in the next week or so.

Got you. On the old 315s we could do that, which was fine. But on the 345s it's either stadium volume or nothing (apparnetly you can turn it down, but it doenst work). As you know, our stops are so close together so the journey between Stratford and Maryland is just one big announcement.

Can you mute the PIS in the cabs? I do on our 345s. Just have to be careful with the stopping pattern West of Paddington. Lol

There used to be an 8 car 321 from Liverpool Street to Southminster which split at Wickford with the front 4 cars continuing to Southminster and the rear 4 shunting into the bay platform to form one of the Wickford to Southminster shuttle services. Post covid, this now runs empty to Wickford as...

We have this issue at various stations on the Elizabeth Line. Despite the automated announcement, and announcement I make at Stratford and Ilford, I feel like I'm wasting my breathe. I just hope that even if one person doesn't listen, someone else who has may stop them trying to egress onto the...

Just looking at our long term diagrams and there are 10 Ilford jobs booked to take units out of there each weekday morning, so don't think it's far off that number.

Ilford can take 10 on the new Sidings plus occasionally they stable them on roads 1 and 2. (Next to the running line).

Gidea Park can take 9 (extra 1 stays in the spur). Shenfield Sidings can take 3 and they usually have 2 in the platforms.

Another vote for Greater Anglia. It's great to live on a line that you can rely on to run a decent service, with friendly staff and generally back to a pre-covid service level. Second goes to MTR Elizabeth Line. (Being slightly biased). They really are trying to run a decent service, despite...

Ok - Ok! I was actually asking the other poster above who said it seemed ok for them, so I could compare why it wasn't working for me either. (Hence my question)

Could you post a link please? (Hopefully allowed). When I try the PPM section it just shows 100% in a red bar. This is the link I am using. http://trains.im/ppm/

I've noticed this too. It did stop for a while a few months ago and suddenly came back, so I'm hoping for the same this time.

Little update from MTR EL. Ilford, Gidea Park and Shenfield no longer have Hayes to West Drayton for contingency. Maidenhead no longer have Liverpool Street High Level for contingency.

Just noticed that our Dec 23 diagrams have been issued to 31st May 24. Our union person did say something about running until June next year but I didn't ask which date.
