Midland minline blocked south of Leicester
I noticed midland mainline trains started running on the Syston Melton Oakham Corby diversion about 1700 yesterday (saturday) and are still running through oakham today so if you want to go over the Harringworth viaduct in daylight and snow, now is your chance (leics to Kettering is the cheapest)
Amazing that they could bring the diversion in so quick as the derailment didnt occur till about 1600 and the emergency services werent there till 17:30
No indication when its being lifted
