Updates

04:11 Disruption to services will continue on Friday 15 July 2005. Due to further developments there is currently no estimate for normal services to resume

So if you want to go to Birmingham on Chiltern, you have to get a time-consuming Central Line train to West Ruislip, a slow coach from there and by the time you get to Princes Risborough you should've been in Birmingham!

But you can't take Silverlink any more thanks to the SRA. And don't even consider going on the WCML right now as it's shut due to a "security alert at Milton Keynes Central".

There is NO estimate for any of the disruptions to end.

Why don't they just suspend the whole line so no more problems can happen?!

Why don't they just suspend the whole line so no more problems can happen?!

what a silly idea
the passengers will say that Sra or chiltern is junk
LOOK, CAN'T THEY JUST Terminates Chilterns to Paddington via Reading to Banbury!!!

 

[Tom]

It's not really a silly idea (its actually very simple and would work), anyway, why divert them via Banbury, that'd make the journey longer than taking an extra slow bus!

Passengers for Birmingham from London are better off going from Euston, for intermedidate stops, go to Banbury from London Paddington and Change
