Been away with the kids for the last few days. Glad I was. Looks like more OHL probs south of P'boro again (yesterday being sunday impact ain't as bad) or were they just trying to fix it? I do seem to remember seeing something about engineering work. Anyway this was posted by CentralSimon: -
Fun and games again this (Sunday) morning.
Firstly the first northbound train out of KIngs Cross isn't until 0900. But today total chaos rained on the 0900 service. The OHL had come down AGAIN between Huntingdon and Peterborough - is this a monthly occurance now? - so GNER cancelled the 0910 Leeds train (I don't know why either), so the 0900 was retimed to leave at 0910, taking all the Leeds trains passengers and made additional stops at St Neots and Huntingdon. After leaving Huntingdon, noticed one of the power lines down on the London bound tracks and a big group of workers standing around. Didn't affect our train (so why cancel the 0910 Leeds train?). This is on top of the "planned" engineering work which closed Platforms 1-3 (so no southbound trains to London anyway!!!), which incidentally over-ran by 3 hours. This over-run should be noted against fairly decent weather we had over the past 24 hours !
