No trains in Grimsby ran after 9pm today of all train companies.
This is because someone's on the railway bridge and won't come down.
Huh - how do you know this when it is in the future?

Yes, I have been hearing on the local radio all about it. My understanding is that he can't be tasered
Autumn leaves are not unusual and the industry should be preapared.
Still reported as up there by Grimsby Telegraph, so thats about 11 hours he's been up there (and the road and railway line have been closed).
It does look like the Barton unit is stuck on the other side of the incident? http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Y30188/2015/11/19/advanced
And an East Midlands 153 is stuck at Grimsby Town after working this service http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/C82375/2015/11/19/advanced
To be fair I didn't hear anything about it on the radio until after lunchtime and as its was just reported as some minor disruption to trains in/out of Grimsby thought nothing of it really (just sounded like some delays).
and until next Monday at the earliestAGA haven't run ANY Marks Tey - Sudbury or Ipswich - Felixstowe services for 5 days now due to mismanagement of wheel flat issues.
Sorry but what is your magical solution against low rail adhesion at this time of year?
Whatever magic the rest of the country uses.
All TOCs have the same shortage of rolling stock.
All TOCs the same issues with low rail adhesion at this time of year.
Only AGA close whole branch lines because of it.

The Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey is very unreliable at the moment. London Midlands excuse this morning (16th Nov) leaves on the line.

I suggest you do one of two things:-
(1) Devise a method to stop leaves falling from trees
(2) You go to Clown Depot and do the job of making them fit yourself.
Dont think 'leaf fall' has been any different this year to previous years ?
Thursday (19th) - 13 (inc 1 terminated at Stallingborough due to trespass) (inc 12 totally cancelled due to trespass) {note some noted as due to lack of train crew on RTT but suspect that incorrect}
Friday (20th) - 10
TOTAL 39/90 (43.33% cancelled)

More trespassers on the line at Grimsby.
I don't know what happened to the Barton unit yesterday after it got 'stranded' on the Barton side of the trespass incident.
Today, the first service (0600 ex Cleethorpes and return to Grimsby) was cancelled because there was no unit at Cleethorpes to form it (because of yesterdays trespass). Then the 0700 was cancelled because its inbound service (0529 from Doncaster) was around an hour late, then the other 3 out and back services (the 1255/1900/2104 ex Cleethorpes and return) look to have been cancelled because of crew shortages.
I think Barton line cancellation falls into total insignicfance compared to say the 0802 from Beckenham Junction to Blackfriars - average load over 800 passengers...
It obviously can't have been at Cleethorpes or Barton otherwise you'd assume the first two services would have run. But then I'm guessing the services for the day run off the 0529 to Doncaster, so did it tootle off down there empty overnight?
