A whole series of these ... something I have not seen before ...

14:57 Bedwyn to Newbury due 15:17

14:57 Bedwyn to Newbury due 15:17 will be diverted from Newbury and terminated at Newbury Racecourse.
It will no longer call at Newbury.
This is due to heavy rain flooding the railway.

I guess the centre running lines are high enough to be above whatever flooding there is currently at Newbury station?

The EA has a flood warning out for the River Kennet from Theale down to Reading. When I went out first thing this morning it was high but not out of its banks in Reading. I would imagine the flood plain near Southcote is doing its job by the Basingstoke and Newbury lines (both on embankments at this point).

Just come back from going down to south Reading, Whitley, and the Foudry Brook is out of it banks with two sewage treatment works discharging into it. Good job I chose the route by the dual carriageway not the "towpath".
