I got a journeycheck email referring to problems with the overhead wires....the first of many, no doubt!
......did it mention a delay of several years?  |

This train will be cancelled.
This is due to a shortage of train conductors.
Are you sure they are not both about the same problem? |

I think the delay reason scripts may have been altered/expanded. I'd never seen the 'more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time' message before, but have also spotted it being used by Arriva Trains Wales today.

I think there has been an update. Seen reports quoting the lack of a driver or lack of a train manager today rather than the generic "staff shortage".

Good to see a more honest and detailed set of scripts.

I'm currently at EAL▸ . Heathrow Connect unit 360201 is sitting in P4 going nowhere. Announcer is saying that due to a signalling failure all PAD» trains are leaving from P2 and there's no Greenford service at the moment.

I got an update this morning saying that a train would have 2 rather than 5 carriages 'due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time'.

My phone lit up at 16:00 [ the start of my evening peak alerting window ]. Alas...
Hopefully things will be back to normal-ish for the commute.
Following urgent repairs to the track earlier today between Slough and Langley all lines are now open.
Impact: Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 5 mins. Disruption is expected until 17:00 17/12.
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington the London bound relief line is blocked.
Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until 16:55 17/12.
Due to urgent repairs to the track between Stapleton Road and Bristol Temple Meads fewer trains are able to run on the Bristol Temple Meads bound line.
Impact: Train services between Bristol Parkway and Bristol Temple Meads are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 60 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until 17:00 17/12.

Wrong type of mildness?

I just wonder, when did 10mins late on a 30min journey become so much the norm that the driver doesn't comment and 'all lines are awesome' ??

Probably been trained by London Underground - "There is a good service on all lines" says the auto announcer when you have been waiting twice as long as normal for a train and underground staff have closed the barriers to stop any more getting on to the overcrowded platforms |

These posts have been split off from an ongoing topic on the Coffee Shop forum. One of our members made the valid point that we could split that topic, year by year, for comparison purposes: The topic heading here used to have "2024" in it, to distinguish it from other "delays and cancellations" topics for 2022 and 2023. Can we have the year back?
This might be a good idea for other line-specific threads, too. Even though I have never travelled through Melksham by rail, I find myself comparing the number of posts each year as a crude measure of whether things are getting better or worse. The "Thames Valley Infrastructure Issues causing problems elsewhere" thread might also be usefully replaced by annual ones, in the (vain?) hope that one day it might give an indication that the problems have at last been addressed. I am now continuing that process. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
