It seems both the Trent Valley and Birmingham routes are blocked, could be a long afternoon

Up Main at Tile Hill blocked due to OLE issues and a complete loss of signalling at Colwich.

I suppose a change to a very busy Chiltern at Birmingham is in order then

Up Main at Tile Hill blocked due to OLE issues and a complete loss of signalling at Colwich.

Both routes at the same time
Is there even any other way of diverting around this?

Nope

Pretty chaotic scenes at Rugby, had my earlier train cancelled due to line blocked at Daventry. Nothing really going anywhere quickly

If only Nuneaton to Birmingham were electrified.

If only Nuneaton to Birmingham were electrified.

Then I dare say somebody would jump in and point out that the drivers don't sign the route, and/or the trains aren't cleared for the route

I think Voyagers have diverted that way before so some drivers must sign it. Not sure if they still do though.

Can LNR reach Nuneaton, Tamworth or even Lichfield TV?

That line is too unfortunately blocked at present due to a Cross Country 170 hitting a tree.

This will be a blow to those saying reopen the inland diversion away from Dawlish. It turns out that having a diversion doesn't help! And a problem on a secondary diversion too. One of those days

This sounds like the more serious incident out of them all, unfortunately injuries have been reported. Thoughts are with the crew and passengers involved.

Was causing issues further south too - I was looking to catch a train into London around 1pm but with everything southbound from my station generically "Delayed" (even the MKC stoppers) I turned around and went home again.

Nuneaton - New Street services are now fine.

Well even that went wrong around the same time due to a tree falling on the line !!!

Some XC drivers at new st might still sign it. Avanti don’t.

Lol - but so true!
