Title: Line problem between Reading and Twyford (9th Sept) Post by: BBM on September 09, 2010, 16:10:53 From FGW Live Updates:
Quote Train services are being disrupted due to signalling problems between Reading and Twyford.Engineers are working as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays of up to 40 minutes can be expected. First Great Western are currently operating a reduced service between London Paddington and Reading. This is affecting local services between London Paddington and Oxford and long distance services between London Paddington to Bristol, South Wales, Cotswolds and West of England. Disruption to train services is likely to continue to at least 17:00. Customers travelling between Reading and London Paddington are able to use South West Trains services from Reading to London Waterloo. Customers travelling between Oxford and London Paddington are able to use Chiltern Railways between Banbury and London Marylebone.

The 2 control centers FGW and NR are co-located and actually talk to each other instead of at each otherThough don't you still get the slightly bizarre situation where despite being within talking distance of each other, for certain matters they have to phone each other up so the conversation is recorded?
