Is there a problem with the line-------
by Fentyke @ 18/07/2008 - 12:31:46

Between St Neots and Stevenage? For past few weeks it seems to me that trains are slowing, often to a crawl, between St Neots and Stevenage and it doesn't matter what time of day you travel either. I've travelled at all times of day in the past 3 weeks and we always seems to slow right down in sort of the Biggleswade area. Even the 23.30 last last night slowed right down. I haven;t seen any signs of engineering work but that doesn;t mean there isn't any. But if this is, surely 3 weeks is enought to complete most things.

The 06.10 was late getting up from KX on monday due to "late running engineering works at Hitchin" and every day this week that train has slowed down just north of Hitchin. Prehaps they are polishing the stones ahead of some royal visit !!!

They're replacing a bridge under the line between Arlesey and Hitchin. A speed restriction is in place over the replaced bridge (assuming until the work is finished). This has a bigger impact on the fast trains as they take longer to slow down and accelerate back again.

There is a TSR (Temporary Speed Restriction) just after Arlesey and before Hitchin.
They have replaced a bridge and the TSR is there while the ballast settles.

Apparently the TSR has been lifted on the Down Slow Fast (away from London).

Didn't slow or stop this morning so I'd guess the TSR may have been lifted.
