When i travelled up yesterday afternoon, the UF was closed Stoke Jcn - Tallington, all services on US, at a time cost of 5-7 mins. A TC was marked as 'FAIL' on the OpenTrainTimes maps, which happens I guess Today, looking at the maps as I travel back, the UF seems still closed as services are...

Well, it looks like a heap of problems on the East Coast today. Item tangled in the wires Morpeth-Newcastle, broken train Newark-Grantham, and some fairly desperate measures to restore some service in the remaining bits! I believe some other issues earlier as well. I'm sure someone on here...

Tram 1021 failed at mediacity this afternoon - seemed the drivers could not get control from the 2nd cab when reversing at Mediacity. Resulted in next Piccadilly shuttle using Platform 2, which seems fairly unusual given the rust on the rails.
