Thats the one. 1713517563 Upshot is that said person drove into London last night for work instead and it went well. M1/A41 are a quick route at those times (and parking no issue then either). This could therefore be an expensive mistake by GTR.

Thanks

Posting on behalf of a relation. Relation leaving London at approx 3.30 AM on overnight train to Bedford and tapping in on Keycard. This train is all stations and (very) slow Keycard has started tapping them out, guessing (correctly) the tap out station about 20 minutes to an hour before...

What is the point of Clapham Junction. Its not even in Clapham and you couldn't even change and get a train to Clapham until the East London Line was extended there. (note: rhetorical question). 1712919594 Wormwood Scrubbs International

Think it was mostly sorted by then. Had been total chaos mid afternoon

At least you got on. At Milton Keynes this afternoon they kettled everyone on the concourse until too late and they missed their trains. Then closed the station and chucked everyone out on the grounds that the concourse was dangerously overcrowded. Ho Hum

I same here.my son isnhesding north so much less train choice. An hour ago a WM train runing 80mins late with all stations except stafford and crewe cancelled called which woupd have been ideal but everyone was kettled on the concourse. 1710699399 Train going north now hit a boulder

Latest witness report I have is that people are starting to lose it and shouting (which is what happens when people miss their trains north because they are not allowed through the barriers and have to wait potentially hours. Suggest you tell your daughter to look at realtime trains or national...

The scene at Milton Keynes is one of total Steaming incompetence. They kettled everyone on the concourse and refused to let people on the platforms due to the disruption with the result that trains are now leaving without passengers (services are running again) including near empty trains that...

On one level it is quite amusing, but the co ordinated nature of these "announcements" in several countries and the press actually taking it seriously is quite sinister. For two years those same military shills have been telling anyone willing to listen essentially that the Russian Army is...

I didn't think that HS2 ending in a position whereeffectively six tracks crash into Colwich Junction and Shugborough Tunnel would last very long. 2a to Crewe I suspect will happen in fairly short order. Anything Beyond Crewe remains to be seen. Apart from anything else Piccadilly needs...

That remains to be seen, we came close to bond carnage a year or two back. The issue isn't so much defaulting on existing debt as to find buyers for new debt for new borrorowing (and when existing matures). I doubt such cuts would be as great as Greece suffered but you could well get pruning of...

Despite borrowing this year being £117 billion so far but £5 billion below the £122 billion it was expected to be. Next government is getting a hospital pass.

In the case I was referring to the driver of the car that ran out of petrol was jailed for three years for causing death by careless driving (dangerous driving was dropped). The driver of the lorry that crashed into the car on the hard shoulder was jailed for four months on the same charge...

I am waiting for the day when an RMT or ASLEF member driving a road vehicle as part of their duties is hauled up before the jury on a causing death/serious injury by careless or inconsiderate driving after an innocent minor error (that in itself wouldn't cause you to fail a driving test) has...

Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, not a million miles away from Scotland: Additional Information: #StormJocelyn Due to Storm Jocelyen there will be a blanket Speed Restriction of 50MPH on all Lines (Up & Down) commencing at 18:00 until further notice

Nothing will change so long as there is a societal culture of witch hunts against those who make a minor error of judgement that falls far short of gross negligence but are the unlucky one in ten thousand where this causes catastrophe. On the roads with the charges of causing death or causing...

A bit like the apochrophal story of the chap stood by a bus stop one evening on an unlit rural road with no pavement who got run over and killed by a passing car. He was only there because the station next to the bus stop was closed after dark because it had no lights so wasn't deemed safe to...

But it is never safe to run trains, just relatively safe/unsafe to a greater or lesser extent. Even walking down the street on clear calm day you could be slain like poor Aeschylus if a passing eagle drops a tortoise on your head (although that possibly explains Network Rails hard hats at all...

What cuts? The railway gets vastly more public funds than it did 30 years ago. The problem is that during this period, fixed assets (property) largely concentrated in the hands of a few, have risen vastly more than inflation, encouraged by government policy which attempts to supress inflation...
