Default Chiltern Services Between Amersham & Harrow

Tonight (Monday) the 19:15 Marylebone to Aylesbury (first stop Great
Missenden) departed approx 30 secs late from Marylebone (due to the last
minute substitution of a Class 168 from an adjacent platform, as the
country-end 165 of a pair was defective, trapping in the set to form the
service). Arrived H-on-H virtually on time, crawled through the platform

and
then staggered all the way to Amersham. Why? Because the buggers in Harrow
box had let out an all-stations Amersham stopper in front of it! Again.


I have *far* more complaints about the signallers at Marylebone - from
putting a train infront of another that is ready to depart to putting a
4-car train into one that only has room for 2 more
