More delays this morning, but as well as the usual signal faults/broken down trains between Reading and Paddington we have a derailed train in the WSH sidings. According to journey check an empty train derailed overnight in the sidings affecting train movements although not the main lines. Doesn't state what sort of train though.

Heard that FGW▸ (First Great Western) staff are on scene and an attempt is going to be made to re-rail the hst which should take up to 3 hours according to the reports posted on uk railforums.

After everything is checked I assume the hst will be towed or worked under its own power to St Phillips marsh for a more detailed inspection?.

Buses are being provided between Worcester & Evesham/Cheltenham

The 166 limped (and apparently clanked!) back from Worcester yesterday.

Another HST▸ (High Speed Train) down is it? They lost one in a depot at the weekend, plus the broken one from the weekend as well
