Insights From The RidingTheGoblin Twitter Feed
There are some insights to be gained by watching the RidingTheGoblin Twitter feed.
- There are the usual complainers and pessimists.
- There is information about failed lifts and other problems from London Overground. Usually, lifts seem to get fixed even in this cold weather.
- Yesterday a diesel train failed and it had to go to Willesden to get repaired. A couple of hours later, London Overground, announced that it had returned to the fray. Their words not mine.
- Tom Edwards from the BBC, stated that the new trains won’t arrive before the last diesel train departs.
I think that in mid-March we could end up with the backstop of three Class 378 trains providing a half-hourly service, but the overall capacity will still be the same as with a full fleet of diesel trains.
One extra train would make a lot of difference and the Twitter feed shows one Class 710 train at Walthamstow Queens Road station last night.
It could be a close-run thing!

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
