I was at Aberdeen train station today and noticed 2 strange things.

1 - The 17.09 train to London Kings Cross was cancelled does anyone know why ?

2 - The train I got on that came from Edinburgh and was going to Inverurie was an SPT train it was strange seeing a Glasgow train in Aberdeen.

Quite unusual

1. Caped/restarted at Edinburgh, due to delays between Berwick and Belford
2. Occasionally you will see an SPT Cl.170 up there

The screen at the station seemed to think so.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---


Then why at the station did the screen say London Kings Cross 17.09 cancelled.

Doh!! You where looking at arrivals. Quick check in the GBTT shows 10.00 London KX - Aberdeen due 17.09 :lol:.

Does anyone know why this was cancelled, there was a little snow but not much.

Sally Traffic has been banging on about signalling probs at Berwick most of the afternoon. Think it was a de-wirement.

Overhead wire problems in Northumberland, nothing to do with the snow. As it is, the wind is treacherous here in the North East this afternoon.
