Seemed to be a fair few cancellations/alterations on LTV▸ this morning due to "trains late from the depot"/staff shortages - heard it was a lack of shunters, anyone know the full story?

No, I don't know the full story, but it may have been the result of their celebration of the first birthday of this particular topic.    |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

It doesn't look like anything is running between Westbury and Reading until midday due to overrunning engineering works.

Thank goodness for the Transwilts with WoE UP services being diverted via Swindon. No comfort for those travelling from stations between Pewsey-Reading though. Anyone know what the cause of the overrun is? |

Glad I'm not taking a service from THA this morning, feeling sorry for those that are (or were!). Planning to tomorrow so hope there is not a recurrence.
I see a few additional services now scheduled between Reading and Theale, so presumably the problem is further west?

In probably related news most services from Maidenhead were delayed by c15min this morning. No acknowledgement of this on journeycheck or from GWR▸ staff, but everything was late/disrupted.

One daily in passenger service in each direction. At least one other ECS▸ from Bristol / enters service on the way (Frome). And I think there may be a Taunton starter that runs ECS from Bristol too? |

High Speed Train's ( HST▸ )s through RDG‡ towards PAD» were generally a bit slack around 0730 when I passed through. Twitter mentioned knock on effects from delays earlier in the rush hour at both Twyford and around Southall. I had a very slow time towards and through Heathrow Junction. NationalRail have now pushed the Pewsey disruption ETA to 14:00 Edit:VickiS - Clarifying Acronyms |

Reading-Basingstoke line blocked by a broken down train too, looks like everything cancelled for the foreseeable, Barnstaple/Exeter for the same reason. Not a great morning for the Great Western!

Reading West MP▸ Alok Sharma has just tweeted that he was told by GWR▸ that the Newbury line problem is due to a 'track out of alignment'.

Reading between the lines (no pun intended) a piece of track maintenance equipment managed to move track too close to a structure, so I believe the track has to be replaced on its original alignment.
