Title: Person hit by train between Didcot and Reading Post by: BerkshireBugsy on June 07, 2016, 21:34:30 Sad news tonight...currently stationary on 1L92 waiting for lines to clear. Not the end of the world for us but as always my thoughts go out to those affected by this and the team who has to put things right.

Title: Re: Person hit by train between Didcot and Reading Post by: BerkshireBugsy on June 08, 2016, 05:44:01 Thank you for posting that objective view of such an incident, BerkshireBugsy. :( I'm not sure if there was more than one incident of this type last night in the Reading-Paddington stretch but chaos followed at Reading. The PA announcer did a Stirling job of trying to keep us informed but with so many trains and train crew out of place it was a difficult job. I was due to get home about 1030 and finally arrived about 0030... Sleep is for wimps..who needs it!

I think I do ... into Melksham on the last train last night (from Manchester); back out on the first train this morning towards Taunton ... expect to be tired by end of day.
