Title: Re: Service disruption between Slough and Paddington - 31 March 2011 Post by: bobm on March 31, 2011, 18:10:01 Seemed to have worsened after that. As I type 13 entries on the Updates page with one mentioning a train to Bedwyn being delayed at Southall due to a trespass incident.

Last Updated: 31/03/2011 15:27 My wife was on this train - she says that she and the other passengers were stuck on the train for about 15 mins before the doors were released. Does anyone know the nature of the incident? Title: Re: Service disruption between Slough and Paddington - 31 March 2011 Post by: Ollie on March 31, 2011, 20:34:28 Something happened at Maidenhead, Police met the train at Slough, doors weren't released until police were on site.
Title: Re: Service disruption between Slough and Paddington - 31 March 2011 Post by: BBM on March 31, 2011, 20:48:44 I was on the 17:06 PAD to Westbury which was brought to a full stop at Slough from full linespeed at Dolphin Junction complete with extreme brake pad smell! Shortly afterwards the TM announced that the driver had spotted a trespasser near Langley and had stopped to report it to the signalman. We were on the way again less than 5 minutes later. (Maybe yet another incident?)
