Is that so? If yes, why's it not possible to operate some Avanti trains between Preston and Milton Keynes?All departures from Euston currently suspended. No Avanti services to travel south of Preston because of the disruption.
All signalling lost in Milton Keynes areaIs that so? If yes, why's it not possible to operate some Avanti trains between Preston and Milton Keynes?

I am sure that they will Be doing what they can.Or even extend some trains to Rugby, calling additionally at Nuneaton/Tamworth so at least passengers could transfer to XC to Derby/Leicester for EMR forward (or put on buses from Ruby to Kettering)?
It is wonderful to note that people still come on this forum with suggestions which include getting buses/coaches to transport probably thousands of people in response to something as catastrophic as this incident, with no warning that it was about to happen or the extent of the damage and how long the great problem was likely tocontinue for. Where do people think such buses (with drivers) are hiding, just waiting to leap forth to where they are needed and drive for hours.Or even extend some trains to Rugby, calling additionally at Nuneaton/Tamworth so at least passengers could transfer to XC to Derby/Leicester for EMR forward (or put on buses from Ruby to Kettering)?
In fairness, it did happen in possibly the worst section of the WCML. Anything south of Hanslope is a bugger as no alternatives. Coaches would've been great, but nigh on impossible on a Friday afternoon at such short noticeIt is wonderful to note that people still come on this forum with suggestions which include getting buses/coaches to transport probably thousands of people in response to something as catastrophic as this incident, with no warning that it was about to happen or the extent of the damage and how long the great problem was likely tocontinue for.

Many bus companies all over the country are cancelling their regular services due to driver shortage so where does one get hold of 'instant' drivers?

Buses are a no go they have a huge staffing issue at the moment with operators running Saturday and Sunday timetable on week days and still have 1000s of runs failing to run or running shortOr even extend some trains to Rugby, calling additionally at Nuneaton/Tamworth so at least passengers could transfer to XC to Derby/Leicester for EMR forward (or put on buses from Ruby to Kettering)?

Delayed by a loco failure on 4S47 (Daventry - Mossend). 1S06 held at Lockerbie to prevent it being stranded behind.RealTimeTrains and Traksy showing that train 1S06 (1930 Euston to Glasgow, started from Rugby) has been at a stand at Lockerbie for well over an hour. Can anyone confirm if it’s a reporting error?
I hope it is, as it was initially due to pass Lockerbie at 23:09, making it 3 and a half hours late.
I feel sorry for the passengers and crew onboard. One thing after another.Delayed by a loco failure on 4S47 (Daventry - Mossend). 1S06 held at Lockerbie to prevent it being stranded behind.
