Not a good day for LTV (London [and] Thames Valley)

Cancellations to services between Slough and Reading
Due to a broken down train between Slough and Reading some lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 16:00 26/03.

ustomer Advice
Trains from Slough, travelling towards Reading, are unable to call at Burnham, Taplow, Maidenhead or Twyford. Customers travelling from these stations towards Reading are advised to catch a train service to Slough and change there, where train services towards Reading (and beyond) are available. Customers travelling to Burnham, Taplow, Maidenhead or Twyford from stations London Paddington to Slough (inclusive) will need to travel through to Reading and then back by a London bound train service from there.

The earlier problems between Maidenhead and Reading were caused by a broken rail at Ruscombe.

The freight train broke down between Twyford Station and the junction at Twyford West.  Stopping trains were crossed over at Twyford East (the crossover that used to be used by peak hour trains from London heading for the Henley branch).  Despite running through platform 4 at Twyford they didn’t stop.  I assume that’s because the selective door opening isn’t programmed for that platform and some trains in the peak would be too long.

Several long distance trains called at platform 1 at Twyford to cater.

LTVs (London [and] Thames Valley) very poor week continues...…….must be the searingly hot temperatures outside I guess?  Roll Eyes


Alterations to services between Slough and Reading

Due to a points failure between Slough and Reading some lines are closed.
Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 15:00 29/03.
Customer Advice
Owing to a points failure at Maidenhead there are only 2 out of the 4 running lines available for use between Maidenhead and Twyford. As a result Twyford, Maidenhead, Taplow and Burnham stations will see a reduction in the frequency of train services which call at those stations.

Delays to services at Didcot Parkway

Due to a points failure at Didcot Parkway:
Train services running through this station may be delayed. Disruption is expected until 15:00 29/03.

Speed restriction at Hanwell due to track fault.
Currently around a 30 minute delay due to all the inbounds to Paddington being delayed both in and out.

Train manager on the delayed 17.07 also announced a points failure near Swindon and suspected trespasser at West Ealing.
Still only about 30 mins late home so could have been worse.

Now expected until 10:30, the signalling system at Didcot has recently become unreliable this is probably the 4th or 5th time there has been an issue over the last few weeks.
