September 5th Exeter Cathedrals Express changed again.... to 30th October!

Re: 60019 Bittern Cathedrals Express 30/10/2010

As of 10am she was sitting at the 2nd starter at platform 19, fitters working under one of the carriages, full head of steam but heading nowhere just yet!

 

Another post says points failure at International Junction been standing for 90 mins. So I hopre its that and not 60019, lots of compensation if it had been blocking Waterloo!!!!

 

60019 and stock started moving from waterloo 0955, edit train stopped again

 

She's on the move again!

 

departed waterloo outer signal 10am

 

After all that...missed her and got no photo! Most annoyed!!! At least others will get the chance to see her.

 

Is it still going via Stains? will be at Fleet or Farnborough to catch her

 

It will be interesting to see who takes the blame for the delay and who has to pay compensation.If its the track then surely no conpensation is due from the operating company.

 

2 explanations going on; signals and failed train. Maybe it was both?

 

Reported elsewhere on mainline. Note this is hearsay!

 

train has just left woking 1 hr down 37 pushing at full throtel (say's Alberta' dad )

 

Off we go to Fleet then, seems strange a path down the main has been found though as its normally a 7.20 from Waterloo that is the only one available.

 

My wife saw it passing through Esher so mainline it was.

 

Southwest Trains are reporting delays into Waterloo due to Signalling Problems

 

Thro' Deepcut at 10.38.............box thrashing on the back!

 

Past Deepcut 50 late, 37 on back pushing hard

 

Through Fleet on the Slow, 37 still very vocal at the back

 

Winchfield 10.49, back onto the fast.

 

Just been seen approaching Salisbury
