I was still very suprised that Mrs Thatcher wasn’t the one who privatised the railways…

How many drivers would be signed to go to Brighton via Lewes when heading south, or are all drivers who do the Brighton to London main line are defaulted to be trained on this alternative diversionary route in the event of service disruption like the landslip. I’m guessing Thameslink trains...

Well that was fun yesterday, a points and now seemingly a signal failure at Edgware Road is a nightmare to negotiate with Bank Holiday tourists and people enjoying the long weekend. Circle was suspended and no direct Wimbleware services either. Any idea what is going on there exactly as it...

Especially today.. Central Line: NO SERVICE between Leytonstone, Epping and Hainault via Woodford while we fix a signal failure at Woodford. GOOD SERVICE on the rest of the line. London Underground tickets are being accepted London Buses via any reasonable route.

I just want to say a big thank you to all who were trying to help people get around the major disruption in the Three Bridges area following the person hit by a train at the Crawley level crossing today. Despite the elongated journey back, it was good to hear of the widespread ticket acceptance...

The points failure at Moor Park seems to have been knocking on for a few days now on the Metropolitan line. Any ideas why this is taking so long to rectify? Metropolitan Line: Severe delays between Chesham and Chalfont & Latimer while we fix a points failure at Chalfont & Latimer and MINOR...

People trying to get away tonight from Paddington before this storm hits tomorrow are having a few delays this evening. Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident between Reading and London Paddington all lines are blocked. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations...

I’m no lover fan of Mrs Thatcher and the damage she did, but I would go as far to suggest that she would have had this Rwanda fiasco sorted if she were still around. Sunak is about as useful as a chocolate tea pot.

When is avanti never “down the pan”? 1705170396 And the 19.37 cancelled too.

Trains using a single line bi directional around the problem. I’m a little surprised the Southern service wasn’t culled in the area though.

1B87 is now 163 mins down

More disruption today…. Cancellations to services between Oxenholme Lake District and Carlisle Due to a fault with the signalling system between Oxenholme Lake District and Carlisle all lines are blocked. What is the impact on AWC services Train services running through these stations may be...

On the Ashford Route from Eastbourne, I’ve never had a journey where I’ve not had my ticket checked… However on the mainline, it’s a different story altogether.

Well that’s a good question… we will find out when the tide goes out what remains on the shingle!

One thing Mrs Thatcher didn’t manage to privatise!

I’ve not travelled on any trains for months now and quite frankly the way in which the railways are run today is a disgrace, epitomised by the above “news“ from Northern. I remember the trains in the 70s and 80s that were falling apart, but at least you got a service that was more reliable then...
