The Ticket Collector

These guys need your help.

Theres a really great website out there which the owners of are requesting your help.

Traindelays.co.uk is a great site which users submit details of what trains have been delayed across the whole of the UK. All you do is sign up and then enter the details of what train you were on, and how long it was delayed. The delayed train then becomes public for all to see.

The site states this at the top of their page.
TrainDelays.co.uk is a free service with the sole aim of bringing commuters together, enabling them to submit delays online as they occur and then help them make the claims by emailing a claim form.

All you have to do is ‘Register’ with us to start using this service and then express your frustration with your rail operator by submitting a delay and making that claim. Don’t let them get away with a shoddy service, the only way to make a difference is to hit their profits!

They are also looking for some volunteers to help them, most if not all of the Railway Companies post delays on their websites and Traindelays.co.uk is looking for a ‘champion’ to check a railway companies website and submit the relevent delays on the traindelays website.

If you think you can do it contact Chris at info@traindelays.co.uk

Incidents today.

Ive found a new system at work in the past few days. The Incident reporting log. Lets take a few incidents today for example.

A passenger decided to pull the communications cord on 1D43 (1733 Kings X to Bradford Forster Square) at Stevenage station, this caused a further delay at 1800.

Signalling problems in the Finsbury Park area at around 20:20. Planned S&T work, whatever the hell that is.

Oh and there continues to be an Emergency Speed Restriction of 20mph at Offord-Huntington.
