Rail Replacement Bus Service In Glasgow

http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2012/10/18/rail-replacement-bus-service-in-g...

Lucky them. This afternoon's Chesham passengers were thrown off their
Chesham service at Rickmansworth and told to take a train to Amersham and
then WALK to Chesham.

The matching morning service to London was held at Harrow-on-the-Hill
whilst
the driver yelled at the jam-packed cattle to stop pressing up against the
doors. As if they were doing so on purpose!

Tfl - the pits

It really IS time to hand the fast pair over to NR/Chiltern and cut
TfL back to Moor Park and Watford.

I beg to differ. There's a lot of traffic from north of Moor Park and a lot
of that doesn't want to go to Marylebone. *Southbound peak services are
loaded to crush point by Rickmansworth - and handing over to NR/Chiltern
won't solve that.

As for the "fast pair", the current Metropolitan services are now all on the
slow pair, except for a few peak services.

The journey yesterday was crappy enough, but last time they took up your
suggestion and routed our Amersham train round towards Watford. *Again, it
was "all off, then bugger off" - although that time, they relented and
rolled the train back around the triangle and on to Amersham - eventually..

In the medium term the route can be re-electrified at 25kV. There is
no reason Chiltern cannot run longer trains.
