Delays between Reading and Paddington after person hit by train at Twyford

Delays of up to 20 minutes disrupted the service between Reading and Paddington until 4.30pm.


Passengers waiting for a First Great Western service at Reading Station

Train services between Reading and Paddington are now running normally.

A person was been hit by a train at Twyford causing delays to the First Great Western services.

First Great Western (FGW▸ (First Great Western)) announced on its website on Saturday afternoon that delays of up to 20 minutes are expected to last until 4.30pm.

Passengers are being allowed to use their tickets via any reasonable route on Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, London Midland between Great Malvern and Birmingham New Street, Virgin Trains, South West Trains and First Buses on routes 75 and 76.

FGW will be keeping passengers updated on the incident on Twitter using the hashtag #TwyfordTrains.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) 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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
