Title: Incident at Reading this morning (06/02)
Post by: autotank on February 06, 2009, 12:16:14
Radio Berkshire were reporting an incident at Reading this morning - any ideas? Norman (best FGW employee?!) at Twyford said he thought it was a fire alarm. My train to Reading was about 20 minutes late, but when I arrived everything seemed OK. Anybody know more?
