I like the comment from 'bj east london' below the Standard article: "Carnage"?? Very inconvenient for travellers but nobody died. |

One thing I will say for yesterday evening though, the comms was better and clearer at Paddington - people were left in no doubt whatsoever that there would be no trains leaving for some time, and they would be better off trying Waterloo for Reading etc etc - better bad news than no news at all. I was headed for Waterloo via Baker St when I spotted a Met Line train for Uxbridge and realised that would be a better option, however I fear the two spousal "rail replacement" services may cost me more than I had thought!!! Lets hope for better today.
I was due to travel on the 00:20 (ish) this morning from RDG‡ to Thatcham which was cancelled just after it was due to depart - apparently one of the signalling team that controlled the section of track we were due to travel on was taken sick and no replacement. On this occasion I can't fault the comms from GWR▸ - to the point when we got on the replacement bus a GWR team member came on to the bus and apologised. It wasn't all plain sailing through - the bus driver didn't even know where he had to go but this was no fault of GWR. |

"Over-running Engineering Work" in the Evening would suggest that the Engineers started early, before the end of traffic. While we're all keen to get on with the job, we tend not to start until the last train has passed... |

Depends where the engineering work is; during the day for example at OOC▸ it is possible that some of the lines into the depot are blocked for engineering work, the block being lifted in time for the run up to the evening peak |

There were problems between Iver and Slough this morning as well. I caught the 0959 down stopper from Hayes and Harlington which used the Down Main until just after Slough and missed the HOT connection at TWY▸ .

After the flooding last night (discussed elsewhere) there are more problems this morning.
The Newbury - Thatcham line was closed due to a level crossing fault.
There were signalling problems through West Drayton and Southall.
These two conspired to delay me by around half an hour into Paddington (where I spent an hour last night wondering what was going where).

I'm probably being blind and stupid, but I've looked, and can't find anything about the flooding. Can you point me in the right direction plz? |
