[Edit] Speeding up to >90 - maybe was following something.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.

Looked like that at Leeds last night, and that would tie in with the DVT being the source.

Living near to New Soughate I have found by clicking on the red dot for New Southgate you can get all sorts of interesting information. Arrivals and departures and even a Station Plan from which you could bring up pictures of the ticket office and also a picture for each of the seats on the Platform. Didn't think little New Southgate would warrant so much detail but there you go.

I notice that the train ID was still showing 5D28 from Leeds down to Donnie.
Sorry about the minus 10 probably a good idea to stay where you are.....the driver probably doesn't know you anyway

Expected to travel to Edinburgh from 0 on 1N08 shortly!
(or 1S09 a bit later) - why is there no 1S08 schedule on the ECML? :dry:

Actually left at 8:30 using 1S08 - OTT says 1N08?!
