Title: Poor rail conditions - Monday 18 March
Post by: Jonathan H on March 18, 2013, 09:42:33
From Journey Check:
"Following poor rail conditions earlier between Reading and Wokingham all lines have now reopened."

What exactly happened this morning to wreck the service?  It seems quite extreme for March.  There appear to have been a lot of cancellations and late running yet the 0704 Reading to Redhill appears to have made good time for most of its journey.

Answering my own question, it seems that the 0542 from Reading struggled to get to Wokingham due to icy conditions rather preventing any North Downs line trains from running behind it
