any way - wasn't too depressed - the windows open and at 90 you get one hell of a breeze! We're now approaching Retford and only JUST getting above snails pace. Up HSTs also affected Title: Re: What's with the slow running in the Slough Reading area? Post by: eightf48544 on July 02, 2009, 15:40:20 Retford? Thought that was on ECML!
Probably just the heat. There were technians on the signals at Taplow this am all dressed up in complete orange suits must have been baking! Swindon C (Didcot area) has been playing up all week. At least with manual signals you had slack adjusters. Electronics just doesn't like the heat. The fans in the CIS boxes at Taplow were going full tilt this am.

Luckily for me I managed to find a 158 today that had working aircon!This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
