TMI (Too much information!)
Cancellations to services between Didcot Parkway and Reading
Following a fire next to the track between Didcot Parkway and Reading all lines have now reopened.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 17:00 09/09.
Customer Advice
We are sorry for the delay to your journey.

Unfortunately due to a lineside fire we had to block some lines between Didcot Parkway and Reading. Also, overhead wires had to be switched off for safety reasons.

Ticket acceptance is in place with other operators which is detailed below.

We appreciate that this will have disrupted your travel plans, especially those on Advance purchase tickets, please note that you will be able to use your ticket on a later train today.

If you require any further assistance or information please speak to a member of Train Crew or Station Staff. Alternatively please use station help points where provided.

More information will follow as we have it.

What caught my eye was the GoCornwall 21/25 routes.
Reducing the above for this information (which has nothing to do with Didcot/Reading) gives me
Arrangements previously made with Go Cornwall Bus route 21: St Austell, St Columb Road (Co-op), Quintrell Downs (Quintrell Close), Newquay (Bus Station) and Go Cornwall Bus route 25: Par (Station), St Austell (Station), Quintrell Downs, Newquay (Bus Station) to convey passengers have now been withdrawn.

So.
Withdrawn and are conveying until further notice.

How to confuse the passengers...........

Looks to have been one of the worst days on the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) for a long while.

Signal gantry that caught fire this morning.
Overheads down at Langley
And a person struck by a train near Hayes. Whilst that was being attended to a person was struck at Southall.

Don’t blink. Trespassers. Delays. Does that count as infrastructure problem?
