Sadly recently a couple of fatalities near Grantham have closed the ECML. However we have resignalled the joint line for such an event.
Does anyone know what % of LNER drivers sign the joint line as a although some services went that way, others did not.
For example the 0730 Lincoln - London stock made it to Lincoln but was cancelled throughout. As were the majority of Lincoln - London Kings Cross services that day. Understand that a 5 car train isn't the best use of capacity but could they not have ran the London - Lincoln services as London - Lincoln - Newark services to keep the route flowing or isn't there enough capacity on the route to do this?
With the extra time taken, it also interests me when control decide to divert Diesel traction trains or sit it out?
Final question, now Lincoln is on the LNER map, I wonder on weekend diversions if LNER will operate or stop trains at Lincoln (as it will be a better option for Newark passengers as well) or if Lincoln passengers will still require to change at Peterborough onto EMR services during engineering work?
Thanks
