Mmmm. Jarvis - Welwyn, Hatfield and Kings Cross!

www.tube.tfl.gov.uk is showing no service Hampstead - Charing Cross
and East Fincley - Kings Cross at present.

You might want to check your facts there, Robert. Jarvis wern't the
company responsible for the line through Hatfield at the time of the
broken rail which is said to have caused the derailment of a
northbound GNER service. It was Balfour Beatty - admittedly many if
not most of the staff are the same though, for the obvious reasons.

Sorry, you're absolutely correct.

I wonder if there's something about that section of the East Coast
Main Line that's jinxed?
