While awaiting my severely delayed service at Didcot I heard that Pilotman Working had been introduced so the failure must have been pretty bad over a large area. On OTT (Open Train Times website) delays appeared to be between Uffington and Challow Loops inclusive.

Expected disruption times now 19:30 and 20:00 respectively, though actual delays seem to be minimal - most of this evening's cancellations appear to be due to crew shortages.

Mrs GTBE was at Reading at 1730 and the screens were showing no trains to Pangbourne until 1828 (possibly she missed the 1808 to Oxford off P3).  She phoned me (train delays are still my fault although I retired ages ago), and after a a quick look at RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) I told her that the 1718 Padd - Oxford (1D35), although cancelled from Padd, was staring up at Reading at its booked time of 1756.  Mrs GTBE says this wasn't on the screens and station staff denied it was running.  So she got a taxi.

Well done to someone who organised for 1D35 to start up at Reading, but it would have been good if someone had ensured this was communicated to the CIS (Customer Information System) in good time.  I wonder if anyone was on it when it left Reading?

Well it was known well in advance

17:18 London Paddington to Oxford due 18:44 will be started from Reading.
It will no longer call at London Paddington, Maidenhead and Twyford.
This is due to a fault with the signalling system.

Still on going. 30 mins late in this morning and 22 mins late this evening on what should be around a 30 min journey. No announcements on the train or platform this morning and a rather frustrated driver this evening saying he had no idea what the problem was.

And we probably get to do it all again tomorrow...

Seemed to be delays again this morning on Thames Valley. Couple of trains waiting at Twyford and lots of people shouting at each other about whether they'd heard from 'Control'. 25 mins late in again.
