True but, to be fair, I think Jason was just picking up on the points made earlier in the thread about white paint and Tippex...

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?  I think we were already into trouble with toasty turbo interiors on Monday. Damn.....forgot signal failures & lineside equipment problems.....they came up trumps too! Good luck if you're at Paddington! |

No idea why but my train this morning was cancelled (06.53 from Twyford) - just after the previous very crowded one had left. Should have been a clue. There also seem to a lot of short formation trains recently. Has some stock already been redeployed or have they just been unlucky with breakdowns?

It wasn't cancelled, it neglected to call at Twyford, presumably due to late running which was down to a freight train running late in the Oxford area.

Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between London Paddington and Maidenhead trains have to run at reduced speed on some lines.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes. Disruption is expected until 09:00 06/06.

Hmm. And it was cleared around that time.
Doesn't wire damage taken longer to attend, assess & fix than just over an hour or so?

Frankly? Pathetic. Overdue, overspent, over promised. |

From the NR» log:
07:52 TVSC» SSM reports that they have lost all the overheads between Paddington & Hayes due to some sort of flash over. TVSC SSM speaking with the ECO▸ to sort out a reset.
So I would imagine the arcing near West Ealing tripped something which caused the power to fail between Paddington and Hayes, so not on the newly electrified section of track, and I would imagine the extra draw from the new electrics would not have been the cause, though perhaps ElectricTrain could clarify?
In all honesty it was reset within 15 minutes by the Electrical Control Officer and didn't really cause any very significant delays, but that and a combination of other issues (fire bells going off in a HST▸ cab being one, a driver injury another) combined to result in a very poor morning peak.

According to the NR» spokesperson in the linked article above, the fault was reset in 12 minutes, which strikes me as being pretty efficient really. a driver injury another
This is an unusual one - can you elaborate?! |

This is an unusual one - can you elaborate?! Only to say that it happened whilst changing ends at Slough and (I think) caused one off the platforms to be blocked for 25 minutes. |

A pretty grim day, especially in both peaks, all sorts of issues, Paddington was chaotic tonight, very poorly managed - seems to be sorting itself out now, let's hope for better tomorrow.

There appears to have been a fatality somewhere, so not all the railway's cause
