Appreciate I'm in the speculation stage.
Thank you broadgage, hadn't thought of that option!

I'm puzzled by the comment 'sustained non life-threatening electrocution injuries' when the line isn't third rail powered.

Customer Advice
We're sorry for the delay to your journey.

We will update this message with more information when we have it.

1V50 (Edinburgh - Plymouth) lost 14 minutes between Tavistock Junction and Laira Junction.

The intended prosecution of Network Rail (Scotland) will also add to the multi layers of 'elf and safety, and to my mind, only increase future repair delays.

Basically yes, TWO options shown top left, but.
When clicking the top option of the two (Show unread posts since last visit) gives me a third option -
No unread topics found since your last visit. Click here to try all unread topics.

So a third option.

1) Show new replies to your posts.
2) Show unread posts since last visit.
3) Click here to try all unread topics.

For me, just one option to show all unread posts and topics please.

Unless that is a major programming exercise

With that amount of time delay for those on board, 'at least' it was a 10 car, rather than a 5 car.
Driver must have been badly shaken.

Apologies, mods please move (thank you)

I think Firstbus had the P&R^▸ (Park and Ride) contract for a few years.
Can't remember who last had it (maybe First?)

Hmm.
Driving past Truro this week, I was puzzled by the elaborate barriers in place, and couldn't understand why.
Remembered later when I saw the large crowds queuing for the branch, outside with no shade or shelter.
Informative large signs advising 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes (delay).
They were unfortunately in the 90+ delay sector.

Several reduced formations to/from Cornwall today.
Also many stopping/starting short in Devon and Cornwall.

I heard from someone who had booked tickets (Bodmin to Falmouth return) about a 90+ minute wait in the queue outside Truro station.
Not best please.
Return train to Bodmin was cancelled but showing on screens as 'delayed'.
Absence of information on the platform.
Said it was their first train trip for 15 years, and would be the last.
Another lost set of travellers.

On time into Reading. but.
As of this time, still sat at Reading.
0A50 came onto the back of 1A50 as scheduled, but the train hasn't departed.

What's happening between Newbury and Reading?

At around midday on 14/08/2023, a part of a trains overhead electrical system collided with a bridge just West of Newbury. This collision resulted in damage to both the train and the overhead line equipment. Network Rail are still assessing the damage to their infrastructure and as a consequence, we're unable to operate any electric-only traction (trains) between Newbury and Reading until further notice.

What's the impact on service for Wednesday 16/08/2023?

Services between Bedwyn - Newbury and Reading are going to be disrupted as we're still unable to operate electric traction (trains) between Newbury and Reading. GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) & Network Rail Western Control have been working overnight to formulate a plan to utilise diesel units from other areas of the network to try and maintain a good level of service between Newbury and Reading. The specifics of this plan will be announced later this morning but will of course be advertised as soon as they're confirmed. For the most part we will be able to maintain an hourly service as a minimum between Newbury and Reading. A basic summary of impact is as follows:

- There will be a reduced service between Newbury and Reading today.
- The Bedwyn - Newbury shuttles will operate as normal.
- Newbury to Reading shuttles will be subject to cancellations though some may operate using diesel trains.
- Fast London Paddington-bound trains that start at Bedwyn / Frome / Bristol during the AM peak period will run as booked.
- London Paddington bound trains booked to start at Newbury will start at Reading and terminate at Reading on their return journey.

Please consult online journey planners for specific journey enquiries where you will see an updated list of what is and isn't cancelled today.
