Title: 09:00 8/01/2009 What's up with the Down Main? Major Signal Failure at Taplow
Post by: eightf48544 on January 08, 2009, 09:30:12
Cooking and eating breakfast this a.m, I became aware that trains on the Down main past my kitchen window were crawling by, obviously locked doww on their ATP.

I am between DM22A and DM22B (by old station over A4) This usually means that they will be crossing to the Down Relief at Maidenhead East. DM22B being single yellow.


Any ideas?

Just returned from station DM22B failed at Red. HSTs being run up to signal stopping and then passing at red, or running Relief Line from Slough.

At least 4 hour failure. Affecting Down Relief stopping services.
