Due to a fault with the signalling system between Westbury and Newbury trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Newbury.
Impact: Train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 15 minutes. Disruption is expected until 09:30 29/03.

Previous posts now split off from the Thames Valley topic and moved here.  CfN.  Smiley

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

At one point trains were being talked past THREE signals on the up line on the approach to Lavington.

The watershed is Bruce Tunnel and, yes, Lavington is a bit further on up the same line.  I suspect after being talked past three signals that the trains were late into the Thames Valley, mind.
