Train Tracks ("live", 27 September 2025)

[french frank]

Master Jacques is correct, according to Real Time Trains, it was "Not stopping". However, if you look on the "detailed version" view, it did!

Stopped by request ... of Radio 3?

... but the 'real time' column for Pitlochry has 'pass / dep 0931' (as opposed to arr 0927 dep 0929 in the other columns)

I dunno. Looks genuine enough to me ... . Sorry to have missed it

... and it was only an hour late in to King's Cross.

Perhaps the ex-Fat controller?

The two screen shots I have show (simple version) 'Not stopping' at Pitlochry, and simply 'pass 0931' in the column which would normally have arrival and departure from the station. The two earlier columns show the original stopping details, and the estimated ones. But no stop or departure is registered. I've tried to add links to online uploads of these, but they don't work properly for some reason.

Not quite - I was trying to upload permanent screenshots, rather than give the URLs, which might well disappear overnight (I hope not though!)

Do these images help, Master Jacques?

Normal Service will soon be resumed...

I had it on this afternoon and because of the 'incident on the line' the train was diverted at Newcastle to run on the coast line through Sunderland and Hartlepool, hence Elizabeth A was left at Darlington station to fill-in without the planned meeting with Petroc.

From the York Press:

A PERSON has been hit by a train north of York.

All train lines between York and Darlington - including the East Coast Mainline - have reopened after a person was hit by a train earlier this afternoon.

The incident was reported at 11.55pm today (September 27) with lines between York and Darlington – including Northallerton and Thirsk stations - impacted.

“To allow the emergency services to safely access the railway and carry out their work, all lines running between these stations are closed,” said a spokesperson for National Rail at time.

They have now finished their work, but whilst service recovers, trains may still be delayed by up to 50 minutes, revised or cancelled.

[smittims]

I think it is wrong to close a whole line because one person has been hit by a train. If the track is useable and the signals operating I believe keeping the trains running should be top priority. No line is too busy to allow workers access to the track , with a proper lookout and saftey procedures. I think Network Rail don't care enough about their main function and are too willing to play safe . I've had it out with them and their respose convinced me that they care more about avoiding blame.

Thank you - you managed to upload one of the two images I failed to upload. No idea what the problem at my end was!
