This day is just total fail.
And it looks like it's by no means over yet, services currently at a stand in the West Drayton area, FGW▸ tweeting about a train having 'hit something'. EDIT: Now sadly being confirmed as a fatality. Discussion on this latest incident, as it's unrelated to to Thames Valley signalling issues, is in a separate topic: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=14791.msg164034#msg164034 |

Another signalling debacle this morning. Fast line between maidenhead and slough is closed due to signalling problems apparently. From the HST▸ movements it looks like both ways.
This morning my First Class ticket has bought me a cramped standing space outside the revolving toilet.

Both Up and Down main closed due to a points failure at Maidenhead.
Temporary repair made to get by the rush hour.

Also just to add to the mess, the 0709 RDG‡-PAD» stopper failed to the east of Reading blocking the UR for about 20 minutes or so.

I don't think anyone is surprised any more to be honest, it's pretty much a daily event on our basket case of a railway.......pal of mine was stuck on the stopper BBM mentioned, late for work for the 7th time this month, Boss has warned him that although he understands the situation he can't tolerate it for much longer.......does losing your job count as "consequential losses" I wonder?  |

Between Bath & Bristol is what has been reported, 45-60 minute delays. Some services due through RDG‡ around ~07:30 were showing 30 minute delay. There was an earlier trespass incident reported, I don't know how all this is interrelated. I left RDG on time on a fast service and lost 17 minutes getting to PAD. |

Yet more chaos late last night, signal problems again, services after 11pm hugely delayed and cancelled - people stranded until well into the early hours...

Yikes. I was quite lucky this morning then to be delayed by only 10 minutes through Maidenhead due to congestion behind a train that earlier had difficulties. |

Another problem. This time between Swindon and Didcot. Edit: Looks like it was a (relatively, compared to the others) minor thing... Following signalling problems between Swindon and Didcot Parkway all lines have now reopened.
Impact:
Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 30 mins. Normal services will be provided as soon as possible. |

Curiously this appears (according to RTT» ) to form a booked service from Swindon to Westbury and is just about to pass MKM» around 45 down (without stopping for clarification).
