Afternoon all,

I know this has been covered before (tried a search and found nothing) does anyone know of a link or have a link to a list of reasons by TOC's for delays, there have been some new ones of late.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.

my favorite product of the random excuse generator operated by London Midland is:

Delayed due to an incident under investigation

The same or similar is sometimes used for South West Trains services on National Rail Enquiries App. Sometimes that isn't updated. So 8 hours after the event you can still read that the incident is under investigation. That's a long investigation. LOL!

This raises a pertinent point - I have tried the search function many times for various topics and always found it (ahem) useless, I'm afraid. I'm probably doing something wrong, but typing in a key word and clicking search has never produced anything meaningful for me.

I see the 7.20 Brighton to Bedford is delayed due to a problem currently under investigation. Perhaps they are investigating which delay reason to use today, to explain the additional stop at Redhill.

Well they have completed the investigations on the 7.20 decided the reason to be service disruption. Oh well very soon the service disruption will be over. Next Tuesday I believe.

The search is a bit hit-and-miss, but a 'trick' is to use Google. Yes, I know that sounds like a cop out, but if you include 'site:www.railforums.co.uk' as a search term it will only return results from the forum.

I particularly enjoy #721: "EXPECTED INDUSTRIAL ACTION YESTERDAY".

how does that work!?
If industrial action was expected yesterday, revised rosters/train plans may have been issued. If the action is called off too late to reissue the rosters for normal working, some trains may not be stabled where they are needed for the following day's service, and indeed the minimum rest period requirements may mean that some staff can't turn up for their "normal" turn (i.e., the turn they would have had if rosters had not been altered to account for expected industrial action)

...had to ruin my fun.

But of course, that does make sense.

Interesting.
A few of them ive not heard before, but many seem to have the same reason repeated under different codes
