Thatcham delays

« on: March 14, 2024, 14:10:35 »

1K12 1205 London Paddington to Thatcham
Appears to have sat down at/by/near Thatcham since 12:51 (so just over an hour delay).
The 1C82 1303 London Paddington to Plymouth has been diverted, having been held at Reading for 31 minutes.

Cancellations to services between Reading and Newbury
Due to a broken down train at Thatcham the line towards Newbury is blocked. Disruption is expected until 14:15 14/03.
Train services between Reading and Newbury may be cancelled or delayed.

Rescue didn't go without a hitch.

The unit was recovered by another but the combined train then failed at Aldermaston before limping into the loop at Theale, leading to more West of England diversions.
