I'm stuck between Hayes & Southall. The word is a driver went through a red signal & train derailed near West Ealing.

TfL» rail have tweeted that it's an empty passenger service that has derailed. Lots of ire directed at GWR▸ and their 'operational incident'.
[ Also reports of a lineside fire near Southall overnight ]

It was an empty train leaving West Ealing sidings. Went past a red light and derailed on catch points.

Fire was at West Coast's Southall depot.
I had plenty of time to observe the aftermath this morning whilst stationary due to the derailment! Looks like one of the old carriages in their sidings was completely gutted.

Now then II. Catch Points derail a train running back in the wrong direction and are usually fitted where there are steep gradients (but mostly gone now due to the removal of unfitted freight trains). Trap Points deliberately derail a train in the forward direction.....

Last Updated:27/11/2018 10:16 So both rush hours crocked. Wonder what the driver involved has got to say for himself?

Knowing the driver concerned, who’s a thoroughly nice chap, I expect he will be absolutely gutted that he made a mistake.

And less encouragingly, now 16:30 though actual disruption being reported on JourneyCheck does seem minimal.

Can't help wondering if this (and earlier cancellations) are from the same "operational incident" ... looks like 2 diagrams not running in the evening peak. 19:52 Reading to London Paddington due 20:46 19:52 Reading to London Paddington due 20:46 will be cancelled. This is due to an operational incident.
