Has Journey Check gone wrong or something? Hardly any issues showing at the moment. Not even mention of half-functioning IETs (Intercity Express Train).

In yesterday's case, the lines reopened quickly, so it turned out the issue was not serious and therefore there wasn't much disruption.

Then this happens today:

Just back from Twyford station and didn't seem to be any trains running at the moment and no idea of when they'd restart.

The webpage is saying minor disruption with slight delays which didn't seem to be the case at a very crowded Twyford station.

It took 8 minutes to wedge the entire content of Slough on to the delayed 6.32 which was already cosy.

Maybe I’ll mention this at the next Meet the Manager session. Oh no, I can’t, they don’t exist.
