CrossCountry didn't have a strike, so ran a service all day. They also ran a Reading-Paddington shuttle, up to 23:30, presumably (at least in theory) to make their services more useful. SWR also had no drivers' strike, but the Reading line was closed for engineering - so there were buses. Thus at Wokingham we had no trains, but buses replacing only the SWR ones. I didn't see whether we had any engineering going on.

I think you might be getting your XC (Cross Country) confused with your XR (Crossrail - Elizabeth Line) Title: Re: Death at Reading station: murder probe as man arrested Post by: ChrisB on July 31, 2022, 11:46:45 Platform 8 sort of indicates a reversing XC service. But no doubt we’ll find out eventually. Totally shocking. I hope they lock up the perpetrator.
