It’s a sunny, Friday morning in mid-August, the schools are off for summer holiday, and you are tasked with taking the 08:45 Chiltern Railways service from Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone. This service is normally quite busy as it’s the second off-peak arrival into London of the day!

You are booked to call at Birmingham Moor Street, Solihull, Dorridge, Warwick Parkway, Warwick, Leamington Spa, Banbury, Bicester North, Haddenham & Thame Parkway and due to arrive at London Marylebone at 10:45.

But trouble is around the corner! An infrastructure issue with a bridge will throw you off track and cause your journey to the capital to be delayed! Expect some holding at stations, and some cautionary signals as you try and make up as much time as possible on your delayed service.
