The 07.01 (Turbo) from Maidenhead to Paddington arrived with 3 of 6 carriages locked out of service - no mention of this by the driver or platform staff so perhaps they were oblivious to the mess unfolding.
The 3 remaining carriages were miserable and a woman near me collapsed to the floor around Hayes.
Utter disgrace.
Indeed - not been the best week on the trains.. I've already had over 60 minutes of delays in just three days..It's going to be one long year if it continues like this.. Maybe GWR▸ forgot to make a resolution to actually run a proper train service in 2018.. At least that way they won't break it like they have done in all the previous years  |

Due to a train hitting an obstruction on the line between Didcot Parkway and Oxford all lines are blocked.
Impact: Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 14:00 04/01.
Due to a tree blocking the railway between Bedwyn and Newbury all lines are blocked.
Impact: Train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 40 minutes or diverted. Disruption is expected until 15:30 04/01.
Though trees are not infrastructure. And an obstruction can take various forms.

Let's hope GWR▸ doesn't try to mask its awful start to the new timetable by blaming trees and suicides for it all. It goes much deeper than that!

Indeed, they need to get to the root of the problem and stop making excuses...(sorry!) |

It's been elaborated to read :
The power supply has failed at Reading Depot which means that the GWR▸ Electrostar service between Didcot Parkway and London Paddington is disrupted. Network Rail colleagues are due on site imminently.
this morning 06:30 at Maidenhead the cancellations were being announced as a problem with the Overhead Electrification. Problem with the term "power supply" can range from a few watts that powers a point indicator to OLE▸ down in the sidings |

There was quite a lot on the radio at lunch time about trampolines and railways. It seems this is not the only such incursion.

I would presume so, as part of public liability cover. Presuming that the owner of the trampoline admits that it is theirs, and also if the trampoline owner HAS any public liability insurance. Many tenants do not. When I was a tenant I had no insurance. |

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

These trampolines are a menace.
They are, causing all sorts of delays when they get blown onto the line. An absolute nuisance to Network Rail, TOCs▸ and passengers. |
