Maybe part of the remit of doing the social media role for GWR (Great Western Railway) is to keep an eye on the Coffee Shop! They might learn a few things. Cheesy

Set of points required attention near West Ealing. NR» (Network Rail - home page) took a 20 minute line block on the Up relief to carry out repairs.

A fault with barriers at a level crossing in the Thatcham area is causing disruption to trains between Newbury and Reading.

As a result, services may be delayed by up to 30 minutes.

We anticipate that this will continue until 08:00.
