Cheers for that , good to know.

Is there an age limit overall for signallers? Sorry if I’ve missed this?

Would a drugs or alcohol test be done? Or was it a member of the general public arrested?

What happened here? Anyone heard anything about this incident at London Bridge? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c86wgd842j1o

I read on the Express and Star website, that Trent Valley is blocked by a land slip. Anyone know exact location? Someone said near Polesworth?

A friend of mine at Lye was told , the Friday before last a train had already left, going to Shirley. It hadn't arrived (luckily). Just use Traksy.

Trains got started at around 21.00. I was allowed to use my ticket on 20.06 Avanti (9G43).

I’m at Marylebone, hoping to get to Dorridge. No trains north of Banbury. ‘Accident on the line’ someone suggested. Anyone have any info?

'Nobby Clark' should have been in a Beatnik band. Nobby Clark and the Hymeks.

Me and my mate talked about this yesterday. We had an overnight stay and night out in Harrogate (from West Mids). One of our mates took a lift with his brother, as he said the trains were "a waste of time". We reminded him it was a better run system than Germany's (they have 63% punctuality...

I've argued for further electrification of freight routes or at least those routes with extensive freight operations. This has to be the way forward as the railway has to gain credibility for being a 'greener' way to travel. of course, not all and deisel or hybrid engines will still be needed...

Agree with this and it was (kind of) my argument. Much of the chaos was caused by passengers on the platform, who didn't have the capacity , patience or requirement to hang back for another train. But people without any railway education will see it and bash the railways 9 times out of 10.

Always use Traksy at Euston. Did this in July getting a Wolverhampton train. Knew the op number and saw it at the platform. Sauntered down 20 mins before platform was announced and got my seat ( not the Eltonesque double one.).

My thread about the problems with XC at Leeds, today, encapsulate these thoughts and fears. 4 car Voyager from Edinburgh to Birmingham NS. It was going on to Plymouth. Earlier cancelled service meant this train was packed to the rafters. People in the bike racks. For £40 plus? Waiting for next...

I’ll have a try once home. Finally seated at Sheffield and have now just left Tamworth. So nearing the destination.

Unfortunately, it will be difficult as I did the Split ticket app purchase. Harrogate- Sheff/ Sheff-Derby/ Derby- Brum.

Yes I’m on and it’s 2 voyagers. Loads standing though including me.

Nightmarish today. 1 Voyager on 12.11 Leeds - New St ( from Edinburgh). Too many on the platform (12) , quite dangerous. Physically could not get on the train. Overcrowded. Then someone drops a bag between platform and train. Hopefully get on the 13.11 which is now 20 minutes late. Technically...

The Greens are endorsing building HS2 in full, at the Manchester Conference. There's been a lot of lobbying and discussion over time on this matter and it's good to see.

On Saturday, there's a Stafford -Stoke replacement bus. Does anyone have an idea what the engineering work is for ?
