On Our Lines' ninth SimSig Session is taking place on Saturday 10 April 2021 and will be a continuation of the chain that we ran for Session 5 on Saturday 6th March 2021. The Session will consist of a chain between Chester*, North East Wales, North Wales Coast and Sandhills* power signal boxes. North East Wales and North Wales Coast are free simulations, with Chester and Sandhills both being payware. There are panels to suit all abilities available, and newcomers are welcome. You can join @#on-our-simsig-lobby at any time for the pre-session chat. We will have a halftime break at 2200, and anticipate finishing the session at around 0100; please let us know if you need to leave before then.
There is a small update to SimSig:Railway Operating Centre. While it is thought to be stable, there may be unknown cases. Please report bugs in the usual way.
To sign up please edit the page and in the participants section at the bottom enter your user name, your availability, experience level and which paid simulations you have, if any; if you have a preferred panel you can also list it here although this cannot be guaranteed.

A Code Red PIDD has been declared on all services on the North Wales Coast at present due to two notable incidents.

A landslip has been reported in the Pont-y-Pant area blocking all lines between North Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Impact:
Services are unable to run between North Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestiniog in both directions.

Due to a landslide in the Pont-y-Pant area the Conwy valley line is suspended between North Llanrwst and Blaenau Ffestniog in both directions. Disruption from this incident is expected to last all day.

On operating incident has occurred in the Holywell Junction area
