    Trivia: Which platform has the most National Rail services scheduled to use it in a single hour?

    And as the lines are quite constrained, they do usually stop at the northbound platform awaiting signal movements.

    Trivia: Which platform has the most National Rail services scheduled to use it in a single hour?

    London Liverpool Street remodelling

    No, but I would assume that a delay on the opening will cause a knock-on to the reduction in platforms but current timetable of services to/from LST post-covid? 1598201494 This would make sense, but it becomes a bit problematic I'd imagine with C2C, who regularly divert weekend trains to this...

    London Liverpool Street remodelling

    TFL website engineering work shows engineering work between 25th December - 28th December, and again from 1st January - 3rd January... Greater Anglia details only go as far as mid-October. Assume these could be pushed back now Crossrail is delayed again?

    Class 321 on West Anglia platforms at Liverpool Street

    Stationary* :E 1598187608 Sorry, meant that the GA Harwich train is on the West Anglia platforms for a longer period of time, as Fenchurch trains are diverted into LST as a result of engineering meaning the west side of the station is much busier, whereas the east side is seeing a very reduced...

    Class 321 on West Anglia platforms at Liverpool Street

    Yes, looks like you're correct! Thanks! Assume it's using the WAML platforms for now as Stansteds are at 2tph for pathing reasons at LST. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C12054/2020-08-22/detailed

    Class 321 on West Anglia platforms at Liverpool Street

    Hello all, I've seen a 321 quite often on the West Anglia dedicated platforms at Liverpool St (1-4), does anyone know why this is? Below is a 321 4-coach on platform 2 yesterday evening (STATIONERY, not in service) - are these to take up duties to relieve the 317s, and cascade the 379s over to...

    TFL Rail - Reason for continued reduction in service in West (Paddington) compared to East (Liverpool Street)

    Probably as the GEML is busier by far than those served by TFL rail on the GWML? And w Heathrow not having much in the way of traffic atm, it's not a surprise

    Have you been to the beach? (English experience)

    A lot of the London - Southend services at LST looked full today. When the shops open in two weeks time, it will be much, much worse on routes into central London, Stratford, Shepherds Bush, Milton Keynes, Liverpool James St, Chafford Hundred and Greenhithe for example

    Twice in the past 3 days has a 315 had it's panto graph ripped off the OHLE on the approach between Liverpool St and Bethnal Green - this happened today, previously also happening around the similar time of 11am on Thursday. Today a 379 has been trapped in the broadgate tunnels since then, and...

    Medium term rail timetable

    With the announcement of the rail timetable today to be ramped up soon again, and the investment in transport, there could be major changes to the medium term rail timetable. Would reducing more intercity services but increasing local services be a good thing where possible? It can definitely...

    Strange LST to Stansted via Southbury service in NXEA timetable 2009-2010

    Thanks for the reply! For a second I wondered whether this could be something to do with Stratford redevelopment. But it definetly was an interesting stopping pattern nonetheless. Would make it interesting for a similar service to return in the off peak hours if not duirng the peak as these...
