The Ticket Collector


East Cost Mainline messups.

January 12, 2007 on 11:55 pm | In GNER, Route, Virgin Trains |

GNER decided to cancel loads of services today.
Virgin had a failed train.
Northern had a failed train.
There were 80mph emergency speed restrictions.
Flooding Between Glasgow Queen Street, Stirling and Edinburgh.
Ok so first of all Network Rail decided to inforce some 80mph speed restrictions between York and Edinburgh due to high winds, which could possibly affect the overhead wires. This obviously caused some delays to scottish bound services.

GNER Cancelled the following Trains.
1D37 - 1435 Kings Cross to Leeds was Cancelled.
1D39 - 1535 Kings Cross to Leeds was Cancelled.
1A31 - 1405 Leeds to Kings Cross was Cancelled.

1D38 - 1510 Kings Cross to Leeds had an additional stop at Stevenage at 1529.

There was a broken down Virmin Trains service between Wakefield Westgate and Doncaster.

There was also a broken down Northern Trains service in the Leeds area.

Oh and to top it all there is still Flooding in the Glasgow/Edinburgh areas, so there are less trains able to run.

  1. Me again. I think the speed precaution was probably wise. We live alongside a National Grid line which yesterday (Friday 12 Jan) was at right angles to the wind direction. The angle of the insulators and the curve of the cables was a sight to behold.
