Looking like another poor day of service for Castle Cary, Westbury, Pewsey and the rest of the Kennet Valley to London when you couple this with the issue of the points failure between Reading and Newbury.

Lets hope it's resolved soon. Too late for those early morning commuters to Reading and London of course.

Whatever happened to point heaters?

Taunton point failure now extended to 1100.
Southcote failure extended to 1200.
