Nonsense.  The messages was sent out at 06:55, so [sarcasm mode on] plenty of notice!   Roll Eyes

It looks as though a delay of five or more minutes will trigger this alteration as per contingency plans to try and protect other trains from delay.  Of no consolation to those at Maidenhead.

0831 at Maidenhead......could be cosy!

07:52 Didcot Parkway to London Paddington due 08:52
Facilities on the 07:52 Didcot Parkway to London Paddington due 08:52.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 4 coaches instead of 12.

I've been working remotely so don't know what the service was like last week. This morning though there were no seats left in Coach 4 after it left Twyford so bit cosy from Maidenhead but on time.

Not sure any amount of hand washing is going to help contain anything when people are packed in so tightly though.

Plenty of seats this morning. I think I've found an upside to the end of the world.

On time and very pleasant this morning.

Only downside was this was my first trip back into the office for several months and the shock of getting up at 5.30am was almost enough to make me think about putting it off. The whole routine just felt strange.

I'd forgotten just how expensive buying tickets on the day was. Just under £30 for a Twyford to Paddington return. Despite all the hectoring from the government to get back to the office its not covid that puts me off but the cost. Going in the odd day is quite expensive and i've really got use to having a couple of extra hundred pounds a month from not paying my season ticket loan.

The train was quiet although for a Friday in mid-August it didn't seem excessively so. Out of the 8 or 9 people I could see on the platform I was the only one wearing a mask which surprised me. The London Transport staff (and their private security companions) weren't challenging people.

The stopping service coming back (it was a quick trip to the office!) was fairly busy and felt about right for a mid morning train, Friday in August. Seemed to be a better percentage of people wearing masks or going through the motions anyway. Some British Transport Police got on at Southall but ignored people not wearing masks.

Victim headbutted and punched in face in row over mask.

The incident took place on August 12 between Slough and Langley but the photo was only published yesterday.
