Oh dear - commuter services out of Euston today, poor incident planning and the BTP
In reply to news post, which Peter Masson
wrote on Fri, 13 Jul 2007 - "Matthew P Jones" wrote What you couldn't have known is whether there were full trains behind yours booked fast to Euston, whose passengers would not have been pleased to have to stop behind yours while it picked up at Watford, or trains close behind yours booked to call at Watford which could equally well pick up passengers off terminated trains. Indeed, I don't, I do know a slow train passed us before we got into Watford. We were not booked to stop at Watford, but we were lightly loaded so one wonders if there was an option to use our train to clear passengers from Watford. No matter, I still reckon the passengers at Watford would have been annoyed as we slowed almost to a stop before accelerating away. -- Matthew P Jones www.ThisIsAmersham.com www.amersham.org.uk www.metroland.org.uk Don't reply directly it will not be read.

One important fact that you knew, but Control probably didn't (although they probably should have had some idea) was that your train was lightly loaded. Peter |
