This whole thread goes to show that a reliable railway would lead to a punctual railway.

I find the speed restrictions due to high temperatures to be rather worrying. Whilst temperatures are exceptional for April, they are very normal for June and July.
So are speed restrictions going to become the norm during the summer ?
I can see the need for such restrictions in truly exceptional heatwaves, but surely infrastructure should work correctly during normal June and July weather ? even if such weather arrives in April.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Same every year isn't it? (albeit a bit earlier this year) There seems to be so little resilience within any aspect of the railway, it's incredibly fragile, be it infrastructure, trains or personnel. |

Has there been a lot of track work there? If so have they not destressed* the rail yet thinking they were ok for a few more weeks? *This is the process by which the rail is tensioned so that it has not stress in it at a certain temperature (I have forgotten what temperature) and is in tension when it is cold, so that the compressive stress when it gets really hot is not too much to buckle the track. |

This I reckon is exactly it. Probably programmed to take place before the 'summer' starts. They were almost record temperatures for April. |

Crawled through Southall on an up IET▸ at around 1045, looked like down trains were crawling also.
Still arrived on-time at PAD» , 30 mins from Reading including a scheduled Slough stop.
