@GarethDennis It’s astounding how well planned these closures seem to be. They do what they plan, within the window pretty much every time. I love driving through after and seeing how much work has been done.
I’m busy route learning Newcastle at the moment so it’ll be a week before I see this
@Rob499@DevonJ58@philatrail That’s exactly it, that and units were out of place.
Some crews were over 6 hours late booking off I’ve heard. That will make them unavailable for the next day
Manchester United's players have been warned they'll be banned for up to 18 games if they breath air during the remaining fixtures. It's a new rule introduced this week. It will apply to United, but not opponents.
@railnigel I know that it’s the driver���s reponsibility and all that, but surely if a bridge is being bashed that much they should be installing a warning gate or something. Far better to hit a structure 30 metres before the bridge than the bridge itself? (Or just hit neither!)
@jonmikesav8 I think it’s better it came now than at crunch time. It could actually relieve the pressure a little. A reality check to stop everyone getting too carried away. (Not that I ever want to see a loss of course!)
