A quick heads-up for anyone planning on attending the Derby meet by train. I have just run a quick search for any operators who run services through Derby and found the following engineering works for Saturday 14th November: - Between Bedford and Kettering, Leicester and East Midlands Parkway: various line closures affecting services run by East Midlands Trains. - Between Ebbw Vale and Newport / Cardiff: all lines closed affecting ATW (TAC), CrossCountry and GWR. - Between Brockenhurst and Bournemouth: no service between Southampton Central and Bournemouth. Affects SWT and XC. Not sure if anyone will come from this far by train but putting it in just in case. Journeys between Bristol, Birmingham NS and Derby should run with no problems. HTIOU.

" said:A quick heads-up for anyone planning on attending the Derby meet by train.For those who don't live South of Derby, the ECML is also blockaded between Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Some of the trains diverted via Carlisle are timed for Class 91s, so presumably drags are on. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

They need to be accurate for the EC ticketing system where you can choose your seat but the layout is different between the stock. Clearly something can go wrong on the day or earlier in the diagram causing the stock to be substituted. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Between Derby & London looking at ROTR/EAS for week 34 it seems to be: SAT OK daytime SUN slow line blocks around Cricklewood, minor retimings needed for that. 2200 SAT - 0500 MON Leicester - East Mid Parkway bus (Bridge works at Syston for electrification and gauge enhancements to Stoke) Bill Log in to reply |
