For the second day running, Virgin services between Glasgow and Euston have been crippled by a combination of signalling failures and broken down trains.  Yesterday, several Anglo-Scot Virgin Trains were running upto 3 hours late, including my 16:54 from Motherwell to Euston.  This evening, signalling problems have caused yet more chaos, and for the second day in a row, the last southbound Virgin Train from Glasgow to Euston is running *very* late indeed.

While I was waiting at Lockerbie for a 19.15 service to Edinburgh
(extra stop to substitute for the cancelled 18.32) a London - Glasgow
service went through 130 mins late. Not good.
