The thicker the line, the more services affected. Trains shown with a coloured dot at their endpoints have already completed their journeys (or were scheduled to have done so!). Trains shown with a black dot are still timetabled to be running, or may not yet have started their journey.

The numbers of services indicated by the totals above may be in excess of the number show to the right. This is because a train that (say) has no buffet and is only running part of its route will just be coloured to the right for "partial route" only.

Links on the right marked "more" provide links for services that are not running their full route only

Road Delays are shown by coloured spots ...

* Accident (0 at present)
* Obstruction or other short term incident (0 at present)
* Heavy Traffic (1 at present)
* Resurfacing
* Roadworks and other reported matters

The size of the marker shown gives an indication of how severe the congestion may be - our data feed describes the delays as "moderate" and "severe" and we increase the marker sizes to emphasise these as appropriate.
