The Great Britain XI - 2018

Thanks

 

I agree, it doesnt sit well with us Grumpy Gits does it

 

We are often told who the loco crews are, so I thought it reasonable to enquire about a possibly less familiar face. She certainly wasn't hiding from public view.

 

The Lady in question is often on West Coast tours and if I'm correct fires the locos also

 

Just passed Acton Grange Jn at 1116ish. No times since.

Looking at Open Trains maps, all the signals there don't show an aspect and very few services appear so looks like the problem is still present and could well account for the lack of updates.

She hasn't crossed the Weaver at Dutton Viaduct yet

 

Ta. Edited.

 

VT site says all lines reopened at 1140.

 

Glad you were careful with your spellings on that one!

Both Wigan and Warrington are often good for videos (often showing very shocked normal's) as the trains tend to pass fast, with little warning and also on a platform facing line.

They may very well be open but I imagine there is going to be an almighty backlog to deal with.

 

BIL just crossed Dutton Viaduct at 12:03

 

Thanks for the update. Now heading home video-less

 

and 58 minutes to get from Warrington to Acton Grange(oops), now 12,20 and no further update from Acton Grange. oh deary deary me.....on RTT....
Edit grange not bridge.

should have refreshed page before posting, this info was posted an hour ago, not on my screen...

 

National Rail now suggesting that normal service (whatever that is) won't be back until 1430 at the earliest.

 

Traksy showing 1Z80 at Winsford

 

On RTT, 5z85 times has:- ' This service was cancelled throughout due to late arrival of an inbound service (YI).'
so new path to be VSTP'ed then....
