1C85 was 52 late through this area. Title: Re: Disruption between Par and Plymouth Post by: bobm on April 14, 2012, 22:00:38 That's quite a big area - Plymouth to Par - covered by three signal boxes; Plymouth, Liskeard and Losthwithiel. Has the damage been widespread?
Title: Re: Disruption between Par and Plymouth Post by: Louis94 on April 14, 2012, 22:39:32 That's quite a big area - Plymouth to Par - covered by three signal boxes; Plymouth, Liskeard and Losthwithiel. Has the damage been widespread? Damage was mostly in the Plymouth area, with some signals blank and all track circuits showing occupied in the St Germans area, however also Liskeard suffered a Track Circuit Failure, and also Lostwithiel suffered a Axle Counter failure and a complete failure of internal communications.

Owing to lightning having damaged equipment between Par and Plymouth trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines. Impact: Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed at short notice. Normal services will be provided as soon as possible.

Anyone have any idea how long it might take to fix. I'm travelling down later this week and have a pretty tight connection at Liskeard for the Looe branch.
