So warm weather is forecast for the end of the week.....I'm tempted by an accumulator....delays due to "poor rail conditions", "damage to overhead equipment" and "more trains than usual needing repairs".......if it's beach weather you could add "shortage of drivers"......odds anyone?  Please no, I'm traveling to London Friday afternoon. |

I think we were already into trouble with toasty turbo interiors on Monday. |

Historically it seems that above 25c and there's a chance of weather related disruption, and above 30c it's likely they'll be disruption. Forecast is for high 20's currently. Who's got the white paint...
Dunno about the white paint, but there is a shortage of tipex at the moment, as they are busy making timetable adjustments to block out all those electric trains that they can't run  |

Due to the disruption this morning an High Speed Train (HST▸ ) (delayed 7.08) pulled into platform 5 at Maidenhead this morning (the first I know of)! A little bit of railway history!

Welcome to the forum, Birdie100. These unusual happenings are not only a piece of history, but evidence of what can be done - a learning exercise which (certainly on my own community line) helps us understand why things are as they are, and what is practical for the CRP▸ to ask about in the future. Many thanks for posting that information / picture ... I know that there was talk of a Marlow line CRP at one point - though I can't see them suggesting an HST to Bourne End except perhaps as a promotional trip. |

Welcome Birdie 100! I've seen the freights thundering through platform 5 since they did the track layout changes, but yes, can't say I have seen an HST there before either. Its definitely given a lot more flexibility around Maidenhead. |

gwr.com adds the following detail.
Following a broken down train earlier today between Reading and London Paddington all lines have now reopened.
Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed by up to 10 minutes. Disruption is expected until 10:00 24/05
An engineering train had broken down in the Slough station area earlier which has now moved. This train was part of engineering works which have been finished late however all lines are now open for normal working. Delays may occur on trains towards London due to congestion caused by the high volume of delayed services currently heading towards London.
Some trains may run with revised calling patterns to try and recover the service towards on time running.

You missed the obvious "an unusually large passenger flow". |

I think we were already into trouble with toasty turbo interiors on Monday. What's the air conditioning like on the new trains? Satisfactory? |
