Points failure now at Twyford, it seems that at least a couple of trains have been stuck on the Mains for about 30 minutes so far, and it would appear from Twitter that Reading West MP▸ Alok Sharma is on one of them...

SCDA? ECR?
SCADA▸ (System Control and Data Acquisition) is the system used in an ECR (Electrical Control Room) by ECRO (Electrical Control Room Operators) to control the traction power system. The first ECR in modern times on the GWML▸ was at  ............................ Slough New; in ancient times (1908 to around the 1950's) of the GWR▸ they have substation control based at Park Royal Power Station (yes the GWR did have its own power station) Old Oak Common Substation, Hammersmith Substation and Royal Oak Substation, I used to work with a couple of men that work in them until they were redeployed to general maintenance in the 60's |

At least he has time to converse with his fellow constituents about his policies with the upcoming election on the horizon - he should welcome such an opportunity   |

Talking of captive audiences, someone I know and follow on Twitter is reporting that Mark Hopwood has been spotted on her train which has been delayed due to this morning's fatality at EAL▸ , but he's apparently keeping passengers updated.

Delays to services between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington Following signalling problems between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington some lines have now reopened.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 30 mins. Disruption is expected until 11:00 24/01.
..........certainly giving themselves a bit of breathing space! (unless it's a typo!)

I was half an hour late initially due to points failure near Ealing Broadway and then another points failure outside of Paddington, putting platforms 2&3 out of use. All as reported by the train manager. |

18 mins late on the 7.08 Maidenhead-->Paddington. No word from TM‡ until arrival.
The positive was that all of the annoying people who pile through unhindered from standard to first class as soon as we cross the M25 in order to gain an extra 30 metres had to stand for 25mins.
