Road to Didcot Parkway (Hitchcock Way) to the east though is still closed. The Fire Service has moved down there to pump it out.

Does anyone know if the Great Western Railway Staff Association ( GWRSA» ) premises were effected? I'm hoping to see a band there tonight! https://www.facebook.com/didcotredhotblues/Edit: VickiS - Clarifying Acronym |

On GWR▸ Twitter........."Unless necessary, please do not travel out of Paddington this evening. Tickets will be accepted tomorrow instead"............I guess that's called managing expectations, although "necessary" is pretty subjective in the circumstances. Good luck to all those trying to get home.

Now advising disruption until 2359, apparently NR» have identified the problem & are fixing it.

Two replacement fuses have both blown shortly after installation, so sections of the signalling being isolated one at a time to trace where the fault is. |

A lot of disruption today, obviously, but good to see the new layout at Reading once again easing the situation slightly with the additional through platforms and Kennet Bridge Loop being used to turn round those trains which were not able to make it to/from Paddington.

I wonder how much yesterday's fun and games would cost GWR▸ under the Consumer Rights Act in terms of compensation once it applies, as opposed to their own current arrangements? More/less/about the same?
(Notwithstanding that at the moment they get back far more in compensation from NR» than they ever pay out to customers of course)

Given that Network Rail will be footing the bill for this one, I'm guessing it wont cost GWR▸ that much at all.

Yeah thanks I get that, but was more interested in the overall amount that GWR will be paying out to customers initially before they get the cheque from NR» ? |

Depends how many people claim the compensation they are entitled to for yesterday's delays against the number of people who claim compensation under any new system that applies and how the parameters in which you can claim under any new system are more beneficial to the customer.

Yeah thanks I get that, but was more interested in the overall amount that GWR will be paying out to customers initially before they get the cheque from NR» ? The problem is it becomes a vicious circle, trains are delayed because of old and worn out infrastructure, TOC▸ customer aka passenger claims compensation, said TOC as a customer of NR claims compensations, NR then does not have the money to replace old and worn out infrastructure so this causes delays ............ TOC customer aka .................... You get the picture. Compound on top of this that when the infrastructure maintainer requests possessions in what are supposedly white periods ie no trains (white because the paper timetable used to be printed on had no black ink on them at these times) Ops say no or you can only have x amount of time because a TOC or FOC▸ has a train booked to run; and its getting worse because people are now expecting a 24 hour railway, in the mean time some of the infrastructure is patched up to work (safely I will add) |
