Bridge near Hanwell has been struck by a road vehicle.  It’s a bridge that requires an examiner to pass as safe before trains can run, so another morning of major disruption beckons.

This motivated me to check the bridges to either side of Hanwell Station, hopefully this lovely structure isn't the casualty.

Much sooner than was originally expected for once.  So much so that it caught GWR (Great Western Railway) control out a bit as they were planning for much longer disruption as originally notified by NR» (Network Rail - home page)!

A good start to the day.....

Cancellations to services between Reading and London Paddington

Due to a fault with the signalling system between Reading and London Paddington all lines are blocked.

Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised. Some stations between Reading and London Paddington will not be served. Disruption is expected until 09:00 25/07.

Customer Advice
Other services are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys. London Buses are accepting train tickets via any reasonable route on N11 and N207

Additional Information
A data link issue is preventing the signallers from being able to operate the points (the moving pieces of track that enable trains to change lines) and the signals. Techs are on-site trying to rectify the fault.

Puzzled by part of their customer advice -
Customer Advice
Elizabeth line are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.

Surely the Elizabeth Line uses the same signals/points, etc as GWR (Great Western Railway), so how come they are apparently running, but not GWR?

Elizabeth Line gets priority and/or points have been secured to enable Elizabeth Line trains to operate
