And not a good start to today's 'soft launch' of electric services west of Maidenhead:

Quote
A safety inspection of the overhead electrical wires between Twyford and Reading has resulted in some lines being closed in the direction of Reading. Also, further disruption has been caused by a broken down train at Goring & Streatley affecting trains between Twyford and Didcot Parkway.

Trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 50 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected to continue until 12:30.

Here you are, then: my work on breaking down (pun intended! Grin ) this original topic into more manageable yearly bites continues.

2017 seems to have been particularly bad - judging purely by the number of posts here (which I do accept is not a particularly scientific analysis of the actual issues involved).

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.
