Title: This morning's BTM to PAD via Theale - 4 July 2012 Post by: chineseJohn on July 04, 2012, 22:28:05 HST Failed at Reading after a long crawl through the Kennet valley - I assuming the power units failed.
Thinking back, good on the driver to get the thing to Reading - could have been worse - we could have been stuck between stations. Caused a few delays though as it'd blocked platform 8.
