Shap Summit: Investigations continue following a derailment near Shap early on 3rd November. NR engineers are working with the RAIB to determine the cause. It followed a suspected landslip in the area. The derailment blocked the opposite line, and, while teams work to reopen the railway, no trains will run between Preston and Carlisle on 4th November. Phil James, NR North West Route Director, said: 'We want to thank passengers for their patience while we investigated this extremely complex incident. Now that RAIB staff have finished their investigation our team can begin the work of reopening the railway. We need to move the train before we begin the repair work necessary to get services moving safely as soon as possible. This incident will continue to cause disruption for the rest of the day and we’re urging passengers to check with their train operator or National Rail Enquiries for the latest information'.
Stanley Junction: 170395 passes through the site of Stanley Junction station (closed June 1956) in October 2025 with the 12.07 Glasgow QS - Inverness.

In addition to being the point where double track north of Perth ends it now also controls signalling at Pitlochry since that box closed in 2019.
