Thanks @Class315 - do 'we' think there should be more Neutral sections, so that sectional isolation can be performed without such a massive outage?

Well at Winchmore Hill at 1820 everything was cancelled - nothing at all. I wonder if anyone knows anymore about this?

Thanks @dan4291 Shame they couldn't run the evening services to Gordon Hill and turn round there - isn't it possible to isolate the power N of that? 1714084091 Whilst I understand the enthusiasm for electrification, compared to diesel - or steam, it can be a massive single point of failure - as...

Does anyone know where this tree has come down please?

Hi @Bald Rick - I started this thread because I needed to make this journey - somehow. From a position of ignorance, I am much informed by your care and knowledge in painting the fuller picture - a very big thank you. This is when these posts are at their best, when they inform - as opposed to...

Thanks @LBMPSB

Thanks @Peregrine 4903 - it's a massively important core and not that easy to cross London without - takes a fair amount of traffic from N of London to Gatwick, Brighton etc - especially at weekends.

Thanks very much _ I missed that

Does anyone know why there do not appear to be any trains stopping at this station on these dates. Can't seem to find any info.

Thanks @brambling - that's a lot of cancelled services for three 717 stables - one wonders if they couldn't have gone to Hornsey, Gordon Hill, Hertford P3, Welwyn?

So is that roughly 10,000 seats that didn't run this evening and now the expense of buses ..... Does anyone know if this is Hornsey for certain?

Can't understand why someone can't either act up or down in such circumstances - such as would happen in other businesses. There's now a further 5 trains cancelled - just how may passengers might that be this evening? It's not the NR message which is dammed it's the failure to have flexible...

Tonight's cancellations are :- The reason given is:- https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service-disruptions/moorgate-20231114/ I don't imagine that I am the only one to find this incredulous - the folk expecting to be able to board these trains will doubtless think likewise.
