Quote From an Email recived today from The Railcard Team.

A few years ago a friend of mine travelled on Amtrak from Chicago to DC^▸ (Direct Current).

The loco failed a couple of hours out of Chicago. CSX pushed the Amtrak train into a siding and the Amtrak driver hitchhiked back to Chicago to get another loco. They arrived in DC 12 hours late.

I hope 1X01 takes that move at Worcestershire parkway at 5mph. Its going from the OWW^▸ (Oxford Worcester and Wolverhampton) line to platform 1 the up (Northbound) Bristol and Birmingham. That's a drop of about 20 feet and a turn through 120 degrees.

Staion            Platform
Moreton-in-Marsh [MIM]      1
Honeybourne [HYB]              1
Evesham [EVE]                 1
Pershore [PSH]                 1
Worcestershire Parkway [WOP]   1
Bromsgrove [BMV]              1

I would say the alternative URL counts as a diversion rather than a FRS (Forum replacement service).

Of course Murphys law of IT upgrades will apply. Like the time when(On the Friday of half term) I had just started a 3 hour job to upgrade an email system for a group of colleges. 10 minutes in the Principal's PA^▸ (Public Address) rang to say she had just opened the letter from Ofstead announcing we where getting a full Inspection starting on the following Monday morning.

Or the time I had arranged a 3 day shutdown of the Virtual learning system. This was well publicised on the home page of the system as well as by Email to all staff and students. But just after I had started to migrate the database there was a desparate phone call from one tutor who had arranged for his students to use the system for a major catch up workshop because he had been off sick for some time.

Maybe we should have a content warning system on the Coffee shop. I was sat on the top deck of a bus when I first read that post by Chris from Nailsea.

West Country trains to London may get slower, minister warns

They will if GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) use class 230s on them.

The buses are confused. Some of the local fleet in Worcester have been replaced by buses from Wales and Leicester.
