Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:39:01 +0100 (CET)
For the second day running, Virgin services between Glasgow and Euston have been crippled by a combination of signalling failures and broken down trains. Yesterday, several Anglo-Scot Virgin Trains were running upto 3 hours late, including my 16:54 from Motherwell to Euston. This evening, signalling problems have ca ...

Rail warrants.
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:04:42 -0000

Norwich loos the rail side of the auto-barriers
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:52:50 -0000

They could have aligned the barriers in such a way that such staffing would

who can get home in less than an hour should be banned from claiming
for a second home.

Large Logo Blue! 37 425 is back. Perhaps.
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:12:16 -0000
Yes, DBS have let 37 425 out for a run. Not sure how far - could have been
just from the IEMD to Crewe station and back. Here's the pics:
