Credit to GWR▸ this morning for keeping services between Reading and Didcot going by using a two car turbo.
It was also my first refurbished one. Still the same uncomfortable seats, but at least it had undergone a good deep clean and looked a lot brighter inside with the new colour scheme, and the new seat fabric is the "mark 2" more durable looking GWR stuff

Later in the day there were 387 shuttles. Completely confused the PIS▸ at Reading where they would appear in the main lists, but not on the platform ones showing the next train.

There was a brief discussion about the refurbished Turbos a day or two back. I've attached a couple of photos for those who haven't seen one yet. |

According to local FB page, the car was being chased by Police along Cherry Garden Lane, Maidenhead. The driver of the offending vehicle did not realise the lane was a dead end!!!! |

So that's a zero m.p.h. limit  |

An interesting signalling block - is it between Newbury and Reading or Reading and Twyford? |

Anyone able to translate ‘line-side equipment’ in this case? What exactly is faulty that isn’t signalling nor track?

A missing speed restriction board at Southall, meaning all trains need to be stopped at the preceeding signal and told what speed they must proceed at.

Couldn’t that be done while stationary at Reading station? Or would identifying the correct location (signal xx123) mean that drivers would not know which signal that was until pasding it & seeing the ID on the actual signal?
