An extremely problematic day on the West Coast Mainline on Friday 16th September 2016. Torrential rainfall over night resulted in a landslip just at the northern end of Watford Slow Line tunnel. A London Midland class 350 operating the 06:19 from Milton Keynes to London Euston hit the debris on the line causing it to derail just as it entered the tunnel. Just a few moments later, another London Midland class 350, operating the 06:34 from Euston to Birmingham entered Watford Tunnel and struck the derailed train causing quite substantial damage. Fortunately there were no serious injuries or fatalities. However this had a huge impact on services up and down the West Coast Mainline for the following few days.
This video was taken some 140 miles north of Watford at Crewe and the impact of the accident was definitely being felt. Virgin Train services cancelled, delayed and reinstated. Some of running to additional timetable, with different stopping patterns. Many of which running well over an hour behind scheduled. So lots of congestion at Crewe. The entire time I was filming this video a Virgin service bound for Edinburgh was taking up platform 6 at Crewe as it was awaiting a member of train crew to take over. So lots of congestion and lots of problems up and down the entire network. I've included a few pics of the incident at Watford as well just to show you what it was that was causing all the disruption. Anyway look out for Virgin Pendolino's & Voyagers, London Midland Class 350's, Arriva Trains Wales 175 and Northern Rail Class 323's.

Thanks for watching
