Currently still not receiving email notifications.
Just tried a bounce test for my internal mail, and that's working OK.

As matt1j says, I press LIKE. This takes me to a new page with 'like wot he said earlier', so have to press the back button to return to the current topic.
Still no email notifications, and the same issue with the LIKE button.

If it helps, can use my gmail address instead of the BTinternet one.

Cancellations to services between Penzance and Plymouth

Due to a shortage of on train staff between Penzance and Plymouth fewer trains are able to run on all lines.

Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 11:00 12/01.

Customer Advice
We apologise for the disruption to your journey today. Due to a shortage of staff at Long Rock depot, fewer trains are available to operate our services on the Cornish Main line.

We are expecting the normal timetable to resume at approximately 10:50.

1A80 0815 Penzance to London Paddington
08:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:29
08:15 Penzance to London Paddington due 13:29 will be terminated at Truro.
And it's a two car unit.
Guessing it will go on to the Falmouth branch

Perhaps that would solve the problem

Looking at timings, could fit quite well, arriving Pz 13h40; provided of course, the HST (High Speed Train) schedule stays as is!

Wondering aloud, perhaps alighting at St Erth and taking the branch to St Ives and back to St Erth.
Then (timings permitting) take a HST (High Speed Train) to Camborne, thence HST to Penzance?

I was suffiiciently impressed by the ridges on the footpath crossing over the main line to take photos




Good to see Melksham is now double tracked.

Cancellations to services between Newton Abbot and Paignton
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Newton Abbot and Paignton the line is blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled. Disruption is expected until 13:00 06/01.
Customer Advice
A coach service will run between Newton Abbot and Paignton via all stations.

My bolding.

Sidenote - this is now Devon delays 2025, or maybe just remove the 2024 part?
Second sidenote.
Tried a search for Devon delays and received this

So the system knew there were various variations on those words, but wouldn't give me access to any of them.
Back to the 'my posts' section and find one of my earlier posts.  Long winded, but quicker than using the forum seach thing.

There's a handful of issues arising from last weekend's work (surprised how few there are).

Firstly, our workhorse system IS still emailing messages out. But as it's now a backroom system and not known as "firstgreatwestern.info", various intermediate email relays are a bit worried about it ...
* Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname
* refused to talk to me: 550 Message rejected
* Connection refused
OK - something to work on.  At the weekend?

Nope, still not receiving any email alerts.
