Not sure if relevant, but slows were closed this morning to check on a cracked rail at Northchurch. Meant everything stayed on the fasts and delayed everything.
Only the Up Slow.
No fault found after inspection

Another morning and yet another case of 1R21 being checked down to a crawl for late-running 9R20. Same for 1R22 behind.

When is this blasted TSR at Church Lawford going to be resolved? No chance of consistent right-time performance on the southern WCML (at least in the up direction) at the moment as this pattern - a Birmingham fast holding up a Manchester and Glasgow - repeats hourly throughout the day.

Will be on for a while.
Should be raised to 50 in a few weeks

To make matters worse for 1Y38, checked down at Harrow for sig 138 or 140 to clear despite nothing ahead or conflicting movements.

EDIT. Looks like 10 got diverted onto the up slow at Wembley because 1Y38 ends up alongside it and into Euston ahead. ..
Won't comment on Ledburn Junction regulation, but the reason 1M10 and a few other preceding it went Slow Line is that the OHL was being checked on the Fast Lines in the Kensal Green area. The Line Block was given up in time for 1Y38 to run Fast Line towards Euston but not before it had been checked down at Harrow (North Wembley junction being a better/faster junction than West London Junction).
