    LM Service misses stop

    Interesting discussion. I'm also bemused that the train missed H&W but actually stopped at Bushey. Usually it's the other way around. Living in Bushey, I've no choice but to get a ticket that covers Watford-zone1. Leaving aside the fact that often at weekends, bank holidays, late in the...

    Doors closing

    I was heading for the 00:34 and arrived early at Euston (underground was working well). I wasn't particularly bothered about not getting on the 00:04 but it would have been a bonus. Others who had been trying to get the train were less impressed.

    Doors closing

    Just home now. To clarify, when I arrived at platform 8, there were already around 15 people in a 'debate' with a LM member of staff on why the doors were already closed. While the 4 carriage train was busy, it certainly wasn't at capacity. I've experienced enough London-bound trains to know...

    Doors closing

    Are there any rules about when and why the train doors should close? I always thought the general rule was the doors would close approx 30 seconds before off. Tonight the 00:04 London Midland train out of Euston closed approx 4 minutes early. When asked, one station person said the train was...

    West Coast Mainline:Severe Problems

    Complete power failure at Wembley. Waiting at Bushey I was told all lines are affected. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Cancellations and delays are happening now due to the earlier power failure (JourneyCheck is saying line-side equipment issue), and Virgin trains are operating...

    What would constitute a good first class service?

    Living in Bushey (south of Watford), first class didn't make much sense since it was just a 20 minute trip to Euston. However, as Bushey got more popular, the trains got much busier to the point of being lucky to get on the train, so a while back I had considered paying the extra for first...

    Anyone know why there are no LM fast trains operating yesterday and today from London Euston out to Watford and beyond?

    London Midland service performance

    They have a service? I'm just looking for the thead to ask why there are no fast trains today and yesterday from Bushey (and I'm guessing much further out) to London Euston. On Tuesday evening LM were a complete mess at Euston. The 19:04 was cancelled around 19:10 (train full, waiting to...

    West Coast Mainline:Severe Problems

    The incidents that happened with the West Coast mainline a few weeks ago may now be old news now but I'm still seeing many delays and I think this is reflective of a system that is seriously struggling. Morning Trains from Bushey (south of Watford) to Euston (London Midland) are constantly...

    West Coast Mainline:Severe Problems

    This morning at Bushey (south of Watford) the fast trains for London were running 15 minutes late. While waiting for the train I saw a Virgin Pendolino trundling London-bound at around 30 mph. So still issues somewhere.
