More photos from CML Network Rail here: https://x.com/NetworkRailCML/status/1746637005457334681?s=20 Complete mess this morning as the emergency timetable wasn't uploaded properly to online planners which were showing original data. Also CIS screens at stations showing normal timetabled trains...

Perhaps, everything about this area seems to be shrouded in mystery though. No, still gated off.
