National Rail now says delays possible up to 0830. I'm planning to go to Paddington and then on to Kentish Town to meet a friend. There's just 30 minutes' leeway in my schedule and, given the ominous weather forecast, am wondering whether to use the delays as an excuse to postpone our meeting. Can't say I fancy walking around London in heavy rain. I'll check again later.

I was monitoring the Crossrail testing on Open Train Times. Only lines 1 to 3 available.

1C15 1300 Pad to Bri stopped at Ladbroke Grove signal SN107 for approx 45 minutes. It went back into Pad.

Everything sorted out by 14:30.

Spoke too soon.

1G42 1433 Pad to Cheltenham, also left on Line 2 and stops at Ladbroke Grove SN107.

At 1452, it reverses back to Pad.

Is there a problem on Line 2?
