1  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Re: Hayes & Harlington - Customer Service Monitor Out Of Order on: April 14, 2014, 00:26:04
I sympathise with the problem mentioned in the first post - at Langley, before the new CIS (Customer Information System) was installed, the only monitor showing platforms was in the ticket office (closed evenings and Sundays) and there was no CIS at all on platforms 1 and 2 (and that on 3 and 4 was often not working/unreadable).  On at least one time when I was there this resulted in a decent number of passengers having to sprint over the bridge when a train turned up on platform 2 rather than 4.  But with the new CIS the problem has been well and truly sorted.  I'm surprised a busier station like Hayes and Harlington has a similar problem.
2  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Weather disruption caused in 2014, and how to prevent it happening again - ongoing discussion on: February 13, 2014, 00:45:57
I appreciate the difficult situation, but Realtime Trains is currently showing no trains at all stopping at Langley or Iver in the morning.  I'm not sure what people who want those stations are supposed to do Huh .  I would quite like to use the train tomorrow but I know what I will actually be doing due to the lack of information - getting in the car...
3  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Severe Storm Predicted Sunday 27th / Monday 28th October 2013 on: October 28, 2013, 13:32:48
Stopping services didn't seem to be doing too badly by 10am but now FGW (First Great Western) have cancelled all stops on Oxford stoppers before Reading, leaving Langley and Iver with no trains.  Does anyone know why this is?  I'm worried I won't be able to get home tonight!
4  All across the Great Western territory / Across the West / Re: Turbo refresh started. on: July 13, 2013, 01:11:22
Yesterday I got two 166s and the air-con was working on both!
5  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Re: Train reported to be full and standing on: July 13, 2013, 01:05:59
I had the misfortune to get this train twice a week or so ago.  (I don't usually commute to London.)  It was unpleasantly busy, of course.  But in my carriages I'd estimate fewer than half the passengers got off at Maidenhead.  Is this because Off-Peak tickets can be used on it (as the announcements seemed to say)?  Or are they just going to Twyford?  Or was that rather unusual?
6  Journey by Journey / Transport for London / Re: Crossrail/Elizabeth Line. From construction to operation - ongoing discussion on: June 27, 2013, 23:53:09
The last I heard was that from Crossrail only 2tph off peak / 4tph peak are planned to go to Maidenhead.  An additional 2tph off peak got rejected by the ORR» (Office of Rail and Road formerly Office of Rail Regulation - about) (which sounds pretty stupid to me).  So it is possible there will actually be a worse stopping service on the GWML (Great Western Main Line) post-Crossrail.

I've only been on two 166s on recent warm days (and didn't try a different carriage on either) but both of them were noticeably hotter than outside Sad
8  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Re: Fatalities at Hayes & Harlington - merged topic on: June 27, 2012, 22:15:46
Was the information about lines being opened accurate?  National Rail Twitter said that two lines were reopened at 6:28.  I was sat at Langley station from about 6:45 and absolutely no trains came through heading away from London between then and about 7:20 when a stopper arrived (followed by a couple of HSTs (High Speed Train) I think), whilst at least three or four trains headed through in the other direction.  Did it take that long to get anything moving?
9  Journey by Journey / London to Reading / Cycle parking at Maidenhead station on: February 18, 2012, 23:20:36
I'm thinking of moving to Maidenhead, and am looking at cycling to the station for my commute.  What is cycle parking like at Maidenhead?  National Rail Enquiries seems to say there are 100 cycle spaces near the ticket office and 50 on Shoppenhangers Road.  Does anyone have experience of using them?  I don't need to get to the station until about 9am on weekdays - will there be space left at this time?

Thanks in advance.
