Last Updated: 28/10/2009 19:01 Yeah - I saw the OFFICIAL line - I was wondering how over optimistic it was............the reason I'm ON the 1822 is because I missed the 1722/1751 because of the OTHER bridge strike.......GGGGRRRRRRRR Oh - and the buffet is closing at oxford with no announcement so in the words of whoever........"I predict a riot" Title: Re: Truck meet bridge........anyone know hoe bad the delays are? Post by: Mookiemoo on October 28, 2009, 23:03:06 Wasnt too bad .... they cancelled most of the WOS - OXF trains so the HST's got a clear run - only 10 late!
Me and the TM both want to know what happened to the 1800ish HST that is normally passed on the way up.......was reported leaving WOS but then we never passed it!
