Having worked on the Enviro 400, Enviro 500, Enviro 200 etc and others, pressing the brake pedal should automatically cut the throttle, i.e. you cant drive against the brakes, the brakes will (should) always take precedence if the accelerator pedal becomes stuck for any reason. It is possible on...

The northbound Highland sleeper was caught up slightly in the Beattock issues earlier, the Inverness portion is currently around 2h20m late at Perth after a further 2 hour delay at Edinburgh. I imagine the single line sections may delay it a bit more. Been a long night for those passengers.

1S83 made it to Glasgow 360L (from Edinburgh arr time), 1S90 following it at 333L. Certainly a heck of a night, no doubt a long night for all the drivers, crew and passengers. 1S95 & 1S98 still on their way. Edit 1S95 made it to Glasgow 287L; 1S98 236L

4S38 eventually looped at Carstairs. 1S83 showing as going to Edinburgh but instead heading to Glasgow? Currently 360L. 1S90 behind it currently 338L

4S38 eventually moved north at around 02:30. 1S83, 1S90 heading north following it.

1M11 looks to be held outside the station awaiting a platform at Carlisle. All the through platform are occupied.

1Z99 now on site it seems and things moving on the up (01:30) that were stuck behind 1Z99. Presumably they'll drag the failed train to Beattock loop to clear the backlog? 1S83, 1S90 still stuck behind the failed train. Edit: 1S81 made it to Glasgow 312L.

Now passed the area 5 hours late. 1Z99 needs to get moving soon at things are starting to back up behind it on the up line now.

Flew Finnair for the first time recently, AY1336 LHR - HEL and then AY99 HEL-HKG, both in Biz class. Heathrow to Helsinki was on an A321, not bad, no entertainment but for 3 hours not a big deal. Helsinki to HKG was on an A350, also not bad. The seating was OK, the crew were OK and AY99 came in...

Being back in the North East for the moment and living in GNE territory (47/X45) I have to say I dread looking up bus times etc to see when (or if) something is due. Took a bus ride to Scarborough yesterday, so 47 into town then planning on the X10, as it is £3 but took the train for around a...

As a HK resident (Until 27th Jan anyway) if only 5 hours I'd stick to the airport. Depending on which gate you arrive at it can take some time to get to the arrival concourse area and the queues are not always short, even for residents. For visitors it can take some time to get though on...

I have actually wanted to do the same thing for years, might get round to it soon. Don't fancy driving on the 'wrong side of the road' so it would be public transport probably. Thanks for the thread, interesting stuff.

https://www.flightradar24.com/GTI747/2f0b1162 The last B747-800 is on delivery and the pilots have written a special message with their routeing today. On delivery to Atlas Air.

An unusual visitor to Newcastle today was a Saudia 787 bringing the Newcastle United team back from training in Saudi Arabia during the World Cup break. This was also the no.1 tracked flight at the time of landing. Emirates is the usual Middle East visitor to NCL with their flights to Dubai...

Its the way MTR do things to make it less 'bad'. Its an underground station so grazed the platform edge rather than the tunnel wall but it couldn't go far either side. All fixed this morning and back to normal operation.

Not much for me but only the old line at Penmanshiel, the Leamside line many times during the ECML electrification with diverted HSTs, old line via Scotswood to Blaydon and the old lines through Manors on the Tyne loop. Probably done the old alignment on the South Shields line too at some point.

HK MTR Derails Tsuen Wan line train towards Central derailed at Yau Ma Tei station on Sunday morning HK time causing the train to strike the platform edge and ripped of several sets of doors. Some passengers were evacuated via the station, some via the rear of the train back up to Mong Kok...

In my tweets to TPE I did add a hashtag for Look North so they were aware of these consecutive cancellations on the Scarborough line (if they check Tweets of course), doubt this was the reason it was included today but glad the cancellations are getting more publicity.

Surely if you have an advance ticket, or any ticket with/without reservation, irrespective of whether the journey is cancelled at 2200 or 1000 then if your scheduled and possibly reserved journey is delayed then you can claim delay repay? Do they just fob people off and expect them to go away ...

I wouldn't trust them to get the fans TO the game, never mind back from it.
