I was on 1W29. The 5 car set was down to 1 engine providing power after Oxford. Control decided not to let the set work over Campden bank as it would not have got back up. It was moved to the down siding at Moreton to await its return path.

This is due to train crew being delayed.

I'm doing a bit of housekeeping here on the Coffee Shop forum - just simplifying some topic headings, in the interests of clarity and ease of future reference.  Wink

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

The topic heading here used to have "2024" in it, to distinguish it from other "delays and cancellations" topics for 2022 and 2023. Can we have the year back?

Indeed, the count of 'replies' is interesting:

2018    825
2019   311
2020   103
2021   12
2022   41
2023   427
2024   394 (to date)

This might be a good idea for other line-specific threads, too.

Even though I have never travelled through Melksham by rail, I find myself comparing the number of posts each year as a crude measure of whether things are getting better or worse. The "Thames Valley Infrastructure Issues causing problems elsewhere" thread might also be usefully replaced by annual ones, in the (vain?) hope that one day it might give an indication that the problems have at last been addressed.

Hmm.  Roll Eyes

Yes, I can do that - but it will take a little time.

Please bear with me, while I do a bit of splitting and moving, this evening.
