Correct. Its the same on the Looe branch with token Liskeard to Coombe Junction and Train Staff Coombe Junction to Looe. I have never known that installation to fail......(and I was responsible for its maintenance for 6 years).
That's why it didn't fail!  |

All those pesky signals on the Marlow branch again  ...mmm. There is one at Bourne End at the end of the Marlow platform and the other STOP boards are classified as signals. There are also FIXED DISTANT boards on both branches |

That's why it didn't fail! Your too kind. All it needs is a bit of dedication and pride, something sadly lacking in modern NR»  |

Due to a fault with the signalling system between Bourne End and Marlow all lines are blocked.
This is still ongoing according to the website: Due to a fault with the signalling system between Bourne End and Marlow all lines are blocked. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until the end of the day. Customer Advice: Replacement road transport services are conveying passengers between Bourne End and Marlow in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys. |

Thanks BobM for posting the photograph of Bourne End. I should point out (pun intended) that the colourlight is a POINT INDICATOR and not 'actually' a signal.... lts the STOP sign thats the signal.... |

My apologies, I hadn't realised a signal had been installed at Bourne End... I don't get out as much as I used to (or as much as bobm  ) So the Stop sign is the signal, and it's the signal that has failed, hmmmm |

Can't win on here - there are some on here who say I don't get out enough!
For the record the photo was taken in June 2015 but I have no reason to suppose anything has changed.

I haven't seen it said yet, but in this case, it's the token machine at Maidenhead that's unwilling to give a token to drivers. |

That's a bit selfish All it needs is a bit of dedication and pride, something sadly lacking in modern NR» The stuffing has been knocked out of the front line staff (and a lot of the backroom as well) always concerned they will get "investigated" is they step outside "the rules" so no one is willing to take any risks |

I'm pleased I got out when I did. Talking to a few of my old collegues over the past few months, they can't wait to be able to do the same. |

I can only second that. I went to a leaving do a couple of weeks ago. The moral and enthusiasm of the people I had previously worked with since 2007 onwards was no longer there. Lack of management, lack of planning, lack of foresight were common themes talking to my former colleagues. I felt rather down considering what a successful team I had been part of 3 years ago.

How sad to have read the content of the last three posts. Just backs up what’s been going on and doesn’t give much optimism for the future.
