Not utterly convinced this will end up being the case - I'm pretty sure some journey planners suggest Cambridge North for same-direction moves right now, so depending on platforming they may suggest it for Cambridge South. That said, it might just be a function of the guaranteed platforming at...
Based on a Reddit thread, I believe a signalbox in Cambridge took a direct lightning strike at around 0615 this morning:

I can only corroborate that there was indeed a localised thunderstorm.
If the question is about noise levels due to non-electric trains and living near the tracks, I'd add that there are relatively frequently not-in-service XC (and AWC?) Voyagers running at the start and end of the day to get to/from the Central Rivers depot at Barton-under-Needwood.
I think they...
I've pivotted the linked .csv file to make it quite a lot smaller (though have stripped out a lot of the info, and potentially have squashed out some stations but I'm pretty sure the count is correct). Same licensing caveats apply as per OP...
It was windier here (Cambridge) than it has been all winter. I can happily believe it hit 60mph gusts here.
I walked home rather than cycle into a headwind, and colleagues reported very gusty commutes. They weren't running double-decker bus replacements Cambridge North - Ely due to the wind...
It was brutally windy, albeit briefly, in Cambridge - I'm not sure how Ely managed to avoid it. That said, I may have a different tolerance for wind levels...
Is there likely to be much in the way of weekend closures in the New Year? Nothing showing for Jan/Feb, which surprised me a bit but that might be me being overly pessimistic
How much would the proposed (unless things have changed) fast service from Lichfield/Tamworth to Euston (the second Liverpool?) thin out passenger numbers on the remaining semi-fast? Certainly when I was in Lichfield I didn't use it to get to London because it was cheap/comfortable (though those...
Hello,
I'm travelling up to Scarborough right now, and the intended train from York (the 1303) has been removed from the timetable as far as I can tell. This will naturally make me an hour late. I'm not particularly fussed by the delay itself, but have two questions:
a) I'm slightly surprised...
I'm not *certain* this is the case - I walked in the Lichfield area before the official announcement of the pause, but after the rumours were going about, and was using OSM to navigate the various HS2 bits and pieces. It didn't have the route of the line marked and it was a bit wishy-washy with...

Interestingly, it thinks the Met passes under the WCML here, though it might be wrong. I think using real compass directions here makes things easier, but that might just be me!
