What happened to 9Y64? 4 hours stuck at Whitechapel!The service wasn't looking very healthy this evening as I was travelling home after my dinner with friends!
No, something has gone wrong there.What happened to 9Y64? 4 hours stuck at Whitechapel!

Thanks, but starting at Whitechapel? 1729?No, something has gone wrong there.
The original 9Y64 completed its journey to Paddington. The reporting code was then reused later in the day.

9N38 1624 Abbey Wood to Maidenhead failed at Canary Wharf at 1634 - https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L72020/2022-11-12/detailed. 5N38 didn't pass Whitechapel until 1732, so there was no westbound service for about an hour.Thanks, but starting at Whitechapel? 1729?
Does anywhere really have this as a major issue? We might as well stick to flipper departure boards in stations too (I do miss the sound).Then when the screens have problems, just take the train out of service!
For this style I often think of the Parisian ones, they'd be welcome.
I'd rather two-digit LEDs (or similar) for each station to say how many minutes until you reach the station in question.
By way of indication of the gap, I reckon that 9Y36 1619 Abbey Wood to London Paddington https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:F45092/2022-11-12/detailed left Tottenham Court Road at 1643 and the next westbound train was 9Y64 at 1736, followed by a 9Y00 at 1739, that had run over the crossover at Tottenham Court Road, so just under a 55 minute gap.
Yes, I am not sure that the screens showing the next three trains are particularly well suited to a disruption situation. Certainly seemed to be the position at Paddington some hours later.In addition to the breakdown, the platform information screens seemed to be down at both Liverpool Street and Whitechapel which added a lot to customer frustrations.
It's a bit rushed, but this took me less than an hour: as others have said, something like this would look much better above the doors than the current offering.
Eventually got to Liverpool St and changed to the Central (because of course the Shenfield branch was closed for works all day, 6 days after opening). All in all it took just over an hour to get from Paddington to Stratford.
And there is *still* no 4G/5G in the tunnels or stations, almost 6 months after opening.
Network Rail could have delayed the engineering works, having a ‘new’ line closed for engineering works just one week in looks poor…The zone areas are good, but the map itself might be too long for a CLD.
Hardly the Elizabeth lines fault there’s an opening coinciding with a possession planned 12+ months ago! Unless you want to talk about how it’s 4 years delayed.

I'd imagine the date for through running was confirmed after the engineering works were planned. There is an ongoing need for engineering works on intensively used railway lines unconnected with the trains now going into a tunnel west of Stratford.It's an absolute joke that people on the east have endured years and years of weekend closures and now it's opened the first TWO weekends it's closed.
And that it will be closed for almost every single FULL weekend in February and March!It's an absolute joke that people on the east have endured years and years of weekend closures and now it's opened the first TWO weekends it's closed.
Then why extend to Shenfield if you’re not even going to bother running a weekend service? Londoners were promised a high frequency, reliable service, the Elizabeth line being affected by engineering works every weekend is not this!I'd imagine the date for through running was confirmed after the engineering works were planned.

You do realise that engineering works are essential to keeping the railways functioning, it's not due to laziness it's closed.Then why extend to Shenfield if you’re not even going to bother running a weekend service?

Huh? Engineering work with weekend line closures happens on the underground as well. In order for the railway to be reliable some level of engineering attention is required.Then why extend to Shenfield if you’re not even going to bother running a weekend service?

Which is to be expected, but on a line that’s only been open in full for a week? Did the Jubilee line close a week after the extension opened due to engineering works? What were these engineering works, were they so essential that they couldn’t be postponed? Rail enthusiasts may put up with constant engineering works, but what about the normal fare paying passenger?Huh? Engineering work with weekend line closures happens on the underground as well.
This is a really silly complaint dude. Engineering works are organised miles in advance and are essential to safe and reliable functioning of the railway. Postponing work of that kind is complex and merely shifts the inconvenience a little bit.Which is to be expected, but on a line that’s only been open in full for a week?

The Elizabeth Line has picked up speed in terms of capacity within six months, just shows how much commuters have embraced it and I think it will smash both passenger and revenue forecasts in the coming years.Well after a week of through-running I am rather impressed with the service apart from the odd train breakdown services are running at 94% punctuality. Trains can bounce back after an hour to the proper timetable (would be imperceivable if the western leg had fewer terminating points)
I guess that blurb four years ago was correct "Crossrail will be full by day 1". I wonder if there is scope for 18 tph from Gidea Park to Central London or else that leg will reach max capacity in the next 10 years.
YES! And if railway industry people on here are saying that we are grumbling too much then there's a need for some customer orientated managemnt coming in. Closing down a few days after opening makes the line a laughing stock.It's an absolute joke that people on the east have endured years and years of weekend closures and now it's opened the first TWO weekends it's closed.
