Was a failed Class 70 on a Freightliner at Radley. After a bit of coaxing from the driver it managed to limp into Hinksey Yard and out of harms way.

At seven o'clock this morning there was an S+T bloke scrabbling around in the four foot on the Up Main at Slough West. Didn't fancy his job with trains continuing to run on the other three lines

Latest;
Cancellations to services between Maidenhead and Slough
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Maidenhead and Slough the line towards London Paddington will be blocked.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 10:30 17/10.
Customer Advice
London bound passengers at Burnham and Taplow are advised to circulate via Maidenhead.
Passengers for Taplow and Burnham are advised to circulate via Slough.
Further Information
This is due to an ongoing axle counter failure in the Slough area. Technicians need a blockage of one of the lines towards London Paddington to allow them to rectify issue. While this takes place there will be only 1 line able to accommodate trains into London and therefore alterations will take place to alleviate congestion through affected stations.

I was on 1L10 which ran at a glacial pace on the relief line from ~ Twyford to Slough.
35 minutes late into Paddington.

1L10 is a high speed service originating from Swansea. Because GWR▸ are dragging in their heels over Delay Repay introduction there is currently no compensation for delays less than an hour for HSS▸ . |

Because GWR▸ are dragging in their heels over Delay Repay introduction there is currently no compensation for delays less than an hour for HSS▸ . I don't think GWR should introduce Delay Repay until such times the DfT» and Network Rail can provide a reliable infrastructure. If they can't provide a reliable infrastructure then GWR should be compensated accordingly. |

Are the defective axle counters and related equipment part of the "new and improved signalling that will bring about a faster and more reliable railway"

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.

Unfortunately the computer way of observing the 'tail lamp' [a vital piece of railway safety equipment] and giving 'Train Out of Section' to the system. I assume in the case today it was considered most expedient to close the line and repair immediately rather than continue to send every express down the Up Main under caution. I got the feeling that the S+T man I saw this morning on his hands and knees in the four foot was looking for a damaged wire or connection.
