Mr Shooter won't be happy if that's the case.....
I suspect the ORR» weren't happy with at least one aspect of the application....

I wonder if the delay has something to do with ATW▸ 's application to run services from Aberystwyth to Marylebone. The application has still not been closed on the ORR's website and ATW were vehement in their opposition to some aspects of Evergreen 3. |

There were serious concerns from most of the other affected TOC's. Not so much in the objectives of the application, but the lack of detail/clarity in certain aspects. |

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.

I doubt if ATW▸ 's objections have any more significance than any of the others. They are basically there on the basis that if their current application is approved, they will already have rights to the route, so why should they pay more if Chiltern improve the route afterwards.
I think many people think that ATW have little or no chance of approval anyway, but I'm sure they have to cover all the options... IIRC▸ Hull Trains quickly got the bums rush when they proposed to go off their patch, although that's possibly slightly different as they are open access...

I will be annoyed if this gets delayed by a year because of these hiccups! It is an excellent project, the type which should be encouraged!

Next timetable change.
They've got a lot to do to get it ready for December 10. Any delay will just see the new timetable put back a year, as I doubt NR» will be able to morph in the new timetable in May without changes to LM▸ /XC▸ etc.

As long as the timings from Aynho Junction northwards are retained, they could retime south of there, meaning a later departure...from May 11.

And about time too. If ever there was an award for a monolithic, overmanned, uneconomic and unresponsive organisation then its got to be given to NR» . We need to, and have the skills and expertise to, do these projects faster and more cheaply and get them right first time.  My vote is for vertical integration (Sectorisation  ). Let the primary TOC▸ on a route run the infrastructure (like they do with stations in most cases). |

Everthing's gone very quiet on Evergreen 3. Does anyone know why there is a delay?

ORR» and DfT» Christmas shut down between 24th and 4th, I'd expect.

We knew that. I was pointing out why nothing would be expected in the last couple of weeks really...
Chafford1's questions here and elsewhere are pretty much unanswerable, on the reasonable assumption that no one from the upper echelons of any of those organisations posts here...
