Minor niggles on thw ECML folowing yesterdays broken rail at Skelton Bridge.

This time the A61 road over rail bridge at Thirsk station. NR received an emergency call from NY Police who were chasing a criminal on the A61. In a scene not out of place on Imterceptors or Road Wars the fleeing criminal crashed into the bridge (ECM5/47) and decamped onto the ECML at Thirsk Station. Trains were cautioned while the line was examined for any debry odf the bridge and to be aware that the felon was somewhere on or near the line. 1F72 delayed 17mins is now losing further time due to loss of path on pennine hills.

Unrelated 1P55 is running late due to a fault with the train at MBR. Consequentially many of 1P55s pax are on board 1F72 which is effectively now in the path of 1F92!

Been commuting for 5 months, nothing goes wrong. Since the beginning of last week I've had a 45L due to points failure, 15L due to broken rail and a 29L due to loony on the line...

At least you only had 15 late due to that broken rail
I was stuck on top of it for 1 1/2 hours!

Still it has been a poor week so far. 1F72 second day and Im 15 late following other late services.
