I see there are possessions planned for the next 3 nights on the B&H▸ so is that plan now going to change? If not, let's hope they are better organised for those upcoming nights.
Update: Shuttle now also running between Newbury and Bedwyn, buses between Newbury and Theale.
Anyone know if this is electrification related?

Depends how you classify an over-run I suppose. As in the track slew wasn't part of the work planned for the possession, but the equipment wouldn't have been working there had it not been for the possession. Anyone know if this is electrification related?
Don't think so. It was a 'stoneblower' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoneblower) working by Bulls Lock between Newbury Racecourse and Thatcham. Does sound like a bit of a cock up all round. |

Looks like things are returning to normal..........wonder how much compo GWR▸ will get from NR» for this one........and how much is paid out to customers!
Following earlier engineering works not being finished on time between Reading and Pewsey the Reading bound line is now open.
Impact
Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 20 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until 14:00 13/10.

working by Bulls Lock between Newbury Racecourse and Thatcham Interesting and useful info from II, thanks. A few trains I've taken recently have proceeded slowly through that area, so I'm thinking there was a TSR▸ in place pending the work that is now (or not!) happening? |

I was one of the sad people looking hopefully at the destination board at THA this morning. Thankfully one of my scouting friends (who also needed to get to London) offered me a lift to Reading which meant I was almost on time. The CIS▸ board just outside the station had wall to wall cancellations and many pax (including me!) got photos to show their employees that they weren't making up the delays Notable the ticket office wasn't open at 6am this morning which probably means (a) the normal (very helpful) GWR▸ person that runs this office thought "there is no point in going in today" or (b) the person supposed to be manning the office today was supposed to be coming to work by train. My money is on B  |

Thank goodness for the Transwilts with WoE UP services being diverted via Swindon. ...
Even if one did a SPAD▸ and lead to the cancellation of a TransWilts round trip. We must remember the line only survived the Dr B era because of (limited) diversion and freight use. |

I think the branches got hit harder in the end - a few of the "red eye" Reading- Paddington services seemed to have been cancelled but there was road replacement in place......I went to Taplow station more in hope than expectation (0657 was listed as cancelled on National Rail as was the 0654 heading West) but both came in on time so they must have got the line back just in time for the rush hour.
Bit cosier than usual from West Drayton onwards.
Crossrail related overrun?
