I went to London yesterday. I did think about going from Hereford, but then I thouht, you never know.... So I went from Cheltenham and was basically OK, except for delay at Southall caused by "extreme cold affecting lineside equipment". Is this basically frozen points?

The only problem I was aware of at Southall that day was a track circuit failure and not points related.
