Do not think I am that young anymore, feeling old, fed up, tired, having to move again, shelling out another 4,300 pounds on rent. Got to be gratefull, at least I am not in a cardboard box behind Asda.

Cardboard box behind Asda?

Luxury!

I somehow doubt it ... but I expect we'll carry on with our familiar and re-assuring stability in most ways with just those few little "something different"s from time to time.

We'll probably know / decide more as we go through the next month or two ... but I doubt you'll see eggs at Easter

From my (admittedly limited) experience, contributors tend to wait until they have something interesting, informative or entertaining before posting.  That's what encouraged me to join and is one of the things that makes the forum stand out from others I've looked at.  Long may it continue!

Indeed (i.e. people post here in moderation).  I really doubt whether too many are down the pub!

For the absence of doubt, "Paul, Resignal Gloucester Now" is a new name for "Dispatch Box". The forum software does allow members to change their 'handles' and there are occasions when it's a good thing to do.   However, popping up with a new name, and without announcing that change, is disconcerting to the existing membership.

I noticed yesterday that Paul, or Dispatch Box, flagged up that he had triggered the posting ceiling; perhaps that should be taken as a request to keep posts to a level at which others feel comfortable and don't get upset.   The request / trigger is automated - the fact that only one member has hit it speaks volumes, I'm afraid.

This forum provides a valuable archive as well as an interactive resource.  Should the archive be being diluted by spray, or should it be being diluted because members are put off posting because of the spray, the admin and moderator team will step in. We are usually minimalist,and indeed I am asking here for people to think before they post - but we are not afraid to act if we need to.

Um. Is it OK to post this here?
Couldn't decide which section to post in.
Journeycheck today (12th March 2024)
Cancellations to services between Bath Spa and Westbury
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Castle Cary and Westbury all lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 11:15 12/03.
AND
Cancellations to services between Westbury and Weymouth via Castle Cary
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Castle Cary and Westbury all lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 11:15 12/03.
AND
Cancellations to services between Taunton and Reading via Castle Cary
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Castle Cary and Westbury all lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 11:15 12/03.

Does Westbury still control all that area, in which case, it is a major failure.

Post away ... because we have sections line by line, we have an issue when it comes to things at interchanges and junctions.   It sounds like the issue, though, is not North Junction - so we may end up splitting and re-arranging topics later in the day.

It’s a fault at Hawkeridge Junction which affects a large number of routes.
