That is the preferred option if available because it removes the risks of standing passenger trains outside of station areas and the risk of self evacuation.

And the freights can be cautioned over while passengers use Down Slow to avoid delay. Not a massive time lost either due to lower linespeed.

I mean a safe work pack. Sorry for any confusion. Possession Support competence has always been a crap process. When I got PS it was because I had been doing it for years without training . I think the way things are these days any competence issues you should raise. If you works for NR ask the...

This has been a question since I was ESing some 20 years ago now. You need to have one with a suitable safe system that the PICOP has provided (separated or safeguarded in old money). They own that section of the line so it is perfectly safe. Same reason as Possession Staff have one when...

The class 9s on the WCML were initially introduced as there was not enough class 1 headcodes available at New Street and the surrounding area. Happy coincidence it helped them be identified more easily at Rugby and Stafford.

I understand that and how it all works, and I understand today’s failure (as well as yesterday’s at Euston). The UPS (uninterrupted power supply) never kicked in during a local power outage, fault with AEG (linked to the electronics units and Camlins system) Emergency Special Working was needed...

Neither days failures were linked to the Easter works. Just bad luck on the timing. 1712173121 Not if the UPS doesn’t kick in.

When it ‘goes live’ All of the updates are done so just waiting for the confirmed date (that keeps changing). Now drivers are passing out hopefully not too long! There is worksites within the Easter weekend possessions for commissioning of the new signs, so hopefully some of the route will be done…

The plan was for week 01 but I haven’t checked the WON to see if that is still happening.

The EPS for Voyagers will go once the MU is in. There will not be differentials kept. It is an AWC project and the decision will no doubt be there being sufficient 80X and minimal Voyagers. The date this happens is still unknown. Looks like at least eight Voyagers will stay until December...

Looking at the log it seems there was a train in P4 that was not due to depart until well after your planned departure, so as your train has already passed Newbold jn, it was set back so it could get to P5 as booked.

All platforms will be checked through the week! Checking stepping height and distances plus use of ramp for wheelchairs etc

Agreed.

Clearly not an official message!

1 to Penzance and 1 to South Wales And potentially the GW Sleeper

There was plans a few years back to do it as I remember the track design / lower for the South West Lines. Not sure where the project currently sits. Although the majority of freight goes off the wires at Mitre Bridge anyway. There isn’t a huge amount that goes to the WCML.

Will be on for a while. Should be raised to 50 in a few weeks

Some back at GWR…

Only the Up Slow. No fault found after inspection

I know there are others…. Voyagers stabled all day too.
