There is now a block in place on the Down Main past the failed train so hopefully plans are afoot to move it. Down Relief remains open.
Due to a broken down train between Reading and Slough some lines towards Slough are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 04:15 23/11. |

advised to cycle back via Reading That could be read that you cycle to Reading and then on to Pangbourne. There are obviously passengers that are a lot fitter than I am. Not to mention that the roads concerned aren't exactly cycle-friendly. |

The Thames Path can be cycled from Pangbourne to Goring.
However, contrary to the expectation that it might be somewhat genteel given it's adjacent to the river, there are some serious climbs and descents (including one which is effectively a long series of steps).

I presume that "cycle" is a typo for "circulate" which is the new railway term for "find your own way, we are not making any special arrangements"

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

"Circulate" in this recent (I think) sense, for coping with trains that can't stop somewhere, means go the wrong way and catch a train back through this station (or counterwise). "Cycle" looks like an attempt to find another word for this, perhaps due to complaints that "circulate" wasn't clear enough. Oh well, back to the word cupboard. |

I would be pretty sure it does mean "circulate" - my understanding of that being an instruction to take a route with an intermediate change, usually doubling back, as in "Passengers for Pilning should circulate via Newport (South Wales)" It does not preclude special arrangements, such as a train being held at the intermediate change point to allow a connection, or even a special stop made an that intermediate change point. It typically happens at a two platform station where the platform in one direction is not available. |

There seems to be a stark increase in infrastructure problems across the whole network with daily points and signaling failures.

I do wonder if we still had 'local' (manned/staffed) signal boxes, would there be less delay minutes with infrastructure problems?
