Title: Derailed train in Worcester Shrub Hill sidings Post by: IanL on August 09, 2013, 09:59:35 More delays this morning, but as well as the usual signal faults/broken down trains between Reading and Paddington we have a derailed train in the WSH sidings. According to journey check an empty train derailed overnight in the sidings affecting train movements although not the main lines. Doesn't state what sort of train though.

After everything is checked I assume the hst will be towed or worked under its own power to St Phillips marsh for a more detailed inspection?. Buses are being provided between Worcester & Evesham/Cheltenham Title: Re: Derailed train in Worcester Shrub Hill sidings Post by: IanL on August 09, 2013, 12:36:38 Is the failed 166 still in the sidings as well?

The 166 limped (and apparently clanked!) back from Worcester yesterday.
