London Midland is recommending people use EMT and Chiltern instead. Interestingly they're recommending passengers for Northampton go to Wellingborough; not sure if they're running a bus or if they think Wellingborough is "close enough"...
I cannot wait until the midland mainline is electrified to Leicester and beyond
ooo

seems to be a fairly unreliable system IMHO or is it because it was done on the cheap
LM Twitter said they are getting buses for Wellingborough to Northampton.Soon after the Bletchley derailment earlier in the year, passengers for Northampton were recommended to get EMT to Wellingborough and told to get their own cabs and send in the receipts!
Wires down, failed 90 and a Pendo sat down to boot. Only US open.
If anyone wants the Olympic skip services, they're being mobilised for this evening out of Euston.
Utter farce.

It is not ideal (obviously!!!!!) utter farce?

Our guard/train manager on the 07:30 Birmingham - Euston today made a big thing of apologising for arriving 7 minutes late at Euston due to the disruption today, not something that I thought was entirely necessary as our arrival time was little different to what it is about 50% of the time!
Other than a slowing of pace where we diverted onto the slow lines between Wolverton and Bletchley, there was little hint of the service being affected at all
