Stray wire hanging down over one of the lines apparently. Probably not too surprising it's happened at least once given the installation isn't complete in several locations still, with plenty of temporary fixings still in place.

I believe the Guildford one was caused by a lightning strike?

... I’m keeping going on this side topic until it gets moderated out!
On the grounds that it's drifted from "Thames Valley Infrastructure", I suspect it will get split into a separate thread. But I would doubt it will be deleted. Many forums are like that ... but this is "The Coffee Shop".

Getting back on topic, and not to test Grahame’s patience any longer, Today’s Railways UK▸ reports that the wires between Scours Lane and Milton Junction go live at 2230 hrs next Saturday 2nd July.
Should I turn my computer off at 2225 hrs?

Many forums are like that ... but this is "The Coffee Shop". No, nothing has been deleted. I have simply (actually, it's rather more complicated than that, but never mind ) moved and merged some posts from here to a more specific and relevant topic, here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=17190.0

William Huskisson MP▸ 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.

Am tracking 1O84 Newcastle Southampton which I am catching from Reading to Basinstoke. It has passed Derby as I write.
So also tracking Taplow times. Just noticed 10:18 to Reading shows up as delayed left Padd on time delayed reaching Ealing Broadway. Plan B? Panic over seems to have dropped 3 minutes to Southall. Is this a quirk of the system?
Will be catching 11:21 from Taplow to connect with 1O84

Due to a points failure between Reading West and Reading fewer trains are able to run on some lines. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 16:30 08/07.

I caught that from Reading to Southampton I had my reserved seat between Reading and Basingstoke (didn't sit in it got off at at Basingstoke to catch following SWT▸ train to Weymouth. interesting a School Party also got off at Basingstoke and caught my train to Southampton. Must be a Cross country ploy to put people on SWT trains asap.

I dropped Mrs FT, N! and her friend at Tiverton Parkway yesterday, to catch the 1426 Plymouth train en route to TQY. When we were told it was running 20L because of problems with overhead wires, she looked at me with a puzzled expression, and said "Aren't the nearest wires somewhere like Heathrow or Brirmingham?". I explained, smugly, what was happening and why problems the other side of Reading in the Thames Valley could have such a knock-on effect.
Wrong. This one was due to problems with Over-Head Line Equipment (OHLE) at Berwick-upon-Tweed. The train was cancelled from there and restarted as 1Z52 from Newcastle. Which mattered nothing to her as I stuck them on 1C45 instead, telling them to change at EXD» rather than NTA» .

From Journey Check Due to a fault with the signalling system at Reading all lines are blocked. Train services running to and from this station may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 10:30 10/07. Isn't this all new signalling now?
