A transponder blew but was replaced and things were fine after that. The transponder blew as a result of a train SPAD, not sure how the 2 could be related??
When the GC I was on is running to schedule it's scheduled for 9.44 at York and an 11.40 arrival into Sunderland. Today we were at York at 11.04,eighty down,and arrived at Sunderland at 12.35,fifty five down. A while back I posted a thread about my fellow supporter who always argues that the York-Sunderland leg could easily be speeded up,he thinks this reinforces his argument given that it takes two hours when the train is on time but only an hour and a half when it's running late!
I think you mean transformer (damn you autocorrect) in the signalling power supply, which would have gone of its own accord. Likely there was a Cat B SPAD as a consequence. SPADS of any type cannot cause power supply failures.
Unless there's a *horrible* wiring problem somewhere
...perhaps there should be a separate forum/sub-forum for 'delays' threads - with a template of Date - Time (approx) - Line - Problem Description
i.e. this thread could be 14/4/2012 - 9am - ECML - Signalling Problems
Maybe?![]()

Maybe they forgot to switch off one power car!
Or the driver was on a promise.
Yes, this would have my full support - would the moderators/admin be able to do something along these lines, pun intended!
