Title: Points failure at Standish Junction (?) 21/04/16 7:25am Post by: BRIChris on April 21, 2016, 08:01:01 Currently on 1S37 0520 Plymouth to Edinburgh leaving Temple Meads at 0730, stuck waiting on Platform 3 at Bristol Parkway as I speak.
Apparently there's been a points failure ahead of us which as far as I can tell from Realtime Trains is a points failure at Standish Junction, with at least one maybe two trains in front of us stuck too. Just been told that this apparently happened at 7:25 and that Network Rail haven't been in touch at all so awaiting further information. Also no mention of this on National Rail Enquiries' Twitter feed or website. Just in case anyone who's travelling through there or waiting for a train that needs to go through there today wonders why everything may be backed up... Edit - update 8:37am I have just passed through Standish Junction at full speed and seen a handful of Network Rail engineers in their orange jackets standing alarmingly close to the track! Hats off to them for getting into the countryside and getting us moving so quickly.
