Title: Cameron and the Communication Cord Post by: eightf48544 on February 02, 2016, 21:20:29 Caught something on R4 about Cameron's return HST from Chippenham, after visitng Seimans that well know British train maker, being sudddenly stopped by someone pressing the red button.
Any details. Wonder if they were pro or anti Europe. Title: Re: Cameron and the Communication Cord Post by: bobm on February 02, 2016, 21:29:24 Don't know which train he was on, but the passcom was puled on a London bound service after someone reported a strange noise under a coach on an HST.
Incidentally Mr Cameron was provided with the green set for his trip west. Title: Re: Cameron and the Communication Cord Post by: Puffing Billy on February 02, 2016, 22:09:25 Perhaps Comrade Corbyn pressed the red button. In which case it was probably not armed.
Title: Re: Cameron and the Communication Cord Post by: trainer on February 02, 2016, 22:38:47 Possibly a publicity stunt to draw attention to a certain Wiltshire town where the brakes for railway trains are manufactured. :)
Title: Re: Cameron and the Communication Cord Post by: patch38 on February 03, 2016, 08:38:49 This morning's Today suggested that he was delayed on his way out to Chippenham by a signal failure (ironic as he was going to a signalling company) and then on the way back by the communication cord issue. He could have come and joined me and about a million other people on the platform at Slough after the 06:58 from Swindon failed at Maidenhead! Just a regular day...
Title: Re: Cameron and the Communication Cord Post by: eightf48544 on February 03, 2016, 09:22:38 A little more on Today implied delay due to pass com pulled was around an hour surely it should take that long to reset.

The TransWilts was cancelled all afternoon ... including the peak 17:36 off Swindon. Bit of a disaster ...

Is this Cameron's "emergency brake" in action...?This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
