That was very specific and isn't the general case and can be quite expensive. Although it was fascinating to read about.

As an example engineers have to make decisions based on the weather. So to help them make better decisions, upskilling their knowledge at understanding the weather to make more informed decisions. The met office are not engineers so saying we have the met office doesn't really work. I wouldn't...

It's been a prolonged winter with record ground saturation which has been constantly topped up. No big Desmond style events but just constant.

Was just going to see. Seems to be a very common thing in this area now... Surely with the scale of delays worth focussing some resources into catching em. In fairness they probably already have, hence the slight change in location. Needle in a haystack sort of situation.

My recent trips on ScotRail also had many people drinking on them.

Every Time I go on holiday down that way I continue to be impressed by GWRs operation. Sure they have faults but it goes to show what happens when you have supportive county and local councils with a competent operator that is interested in improving things. I'm sure much of that is driven from...

Maybe Avanti executives also own Preston taxi companies...

When I've boarded at Liskeard, there has always been plenty. I would never have thought it was so low though. Never boarded at intermediate locations on the Caledonian but will be boarding at Crewe in January and will be interested as to how busy the station is at 23:45!

I am on 1D23 been told to expect single line working. Reckon the London Leeds section will take as long as Cologne to London did earlier today.

I was thinking that, everyday something has happened and like you say somewhere and something different every single time.

Signalling south of Peterborough seems to be constant now. Multiple times per week.

Leeds to Edinburgh is the north part only for both. Not sure they merge at all. XC is keyed around Birmingham. TPE around Manchester.

Moving annual average. Averages the last 12 months.

The two Chathill services are the only daily Northern services that have been kept.

Indeed I have been on 800-801 combos from Leeds to Hambleton before that did fine (not amazing) but fine.
