I think the 15mph is a bit misleading - probably just a 57 LE move off the back of the sleeper.

Quote from: SandTEngineer on April 18, 2016, 14:43:59 Well thanks a bunch. The 'special' left a track circuit failure on behind it at Kintbury and my train behind it (and that was supposed to overtake it at Newbury) was delayed by 12 minutes as a consequence Hi SandTEngineer, I was on the Tarka^▸ (Line from Barnstaple to Exeter) Tourer and we were wondering where you got to at Newbury and left before you! Out of interest I was wondering what is a track circuit failure, and how is it rectified?

Most pax are participating in the included coach trip to Woody Bay and the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, so, "Yes" Quote from: Rob on the hill on April 15, 2016, 20:52:15 Thanks Phil, unfortunately the Woody Bay excursion is fully booked. I'm travelling on the HST^▸ (High Speed Train) so looking forward to a good day out. Apologies Rob, I hadn't realised you had asked the question as you were actually travelling. The answer is still 'Yes'. If you are up for it, I would recommend a walk along the Tarka^▸ (Line from Barnstaple to Exeter) Trail from Barnstaple station. No worries Phil, I should have made it clear I was going to be on board. Thanks for your suggestion - I had a very pleasant walk along the Tarka Trail to Fremington Quay!
