The word on the VT train yesterday was that the fire was definitely down to another steam loco and NR were not seemingly in a rush to help another steam train last night - others can suggest if the 2 items were linked. The decision to go Black...

Makes 44871 move south a waste of time and money as steam can still be used on the WHL

Having been in that situation a few times, both as passenger and steward, the lack of information coming through at times is incredibly frustrating, but there's nothing anyone can really do about it as there's so many links in the chain it takes...

Can only echo the above. At Warrington I had several long chats with staff (including the guard), who were pulling their hair out with the lack of information, but somehow seemingly kept their good humour and most of all professionalism. I hope...

As a comment there was generally less electrical signalling equipment trackside 60 years ago. Cheers, Neil

So, with the benefit of a few hours of sleep - my impressions of yesterday. Picking up at Nuneaton, we left about 50 down after a points failure at Coleshill had delayed things - but a barnstorming run up the WCML, and skipping all of the...

Well we thought we were on the move, but now aren't again.. Really feel for VT, seems the communication from NR hasn't been what it should be.

Apparently we're only going forward to Warrington, but at least we'll be able to stretch legs there

Best comment so far. When I walked round Nine Elms on 10th July 67 with some engines still showing pressure on the gauge there was no way would I have thought we would be where we are now. Well done to NR, RTC and MNLPS for making it happen in...

What has to be remembered, when moaning about the diesel doing most of the work, that the cross section of passengers on the train means that there is practically no option to cancel the train when Network Rail impose Red restrictions to steam...
