Rail Replacement Bus Service In Glasgow

http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2012/10/18/rail-replacement-bus-service-in-g...

Lucky them. This afternoon's Chesham passengers were thrown off their
Chesham service at Rickmansworth and told to take a train to Amersham and
then WALK to Chesham.

The matching morning service to London was held at Harrow-on-the-Hill
whilst
the driver yelled at the jam-packed cattle to stop pressing up against the
doors. As if they were doing so on purpose!

Tfl - the pits

It really IS time to hand the fast pair over to NR/Chiltern and cut
TfL back to Moor Park and Watford.

I beg to differ. There's a lot of traffic from north of Moor Park and a lot
of that doesn't want to go to Marylebone. Southbound peak services are
loaded to crush point by Rickmansworth - and handing over to NR/Chiltern
won't solve that.

As for the "fast pair", the current Metropolitan services are now all on the
slow pair, except for a few peak services.

The journey yesterday was crappy enough, but last time they took up your
suggestion and routed our Amersham train round towards Watford. Again, it
was "all off, then bugger off" - although that time, they relented and
rolled the train back around the triangle and on to Amersham - eventually.
