Title: Does anyone know what happened this morning (Fri 21/1/11)

This morning we left Maidenhead on time (8.34 departure)... We had to wait to cross over to main line at Slough and then we crawled along until we finally stopped somewhere between Langley and Iver for quite a while. The driver did apologise and say it's because we were in a queue of trains and we should be moving soon so at least we had some information which was good.

We finally arrived at Paddington 15 minutes late so I wondered if anyone knew why.. Once we were finally through West Drayton we speeded up again.. Maybe a problem with the signals at airport junction?

Possibly a problem handing trains on from Slough Panel to Slough IECC with Airport Junction adding to the congestion.
