Title: What happened last Friday 11th November 2011 Between Reading and Londo Post by: BerkshireBugsy on November 14, 2011, 06:57:14 For various reasons I needed to get back from Slough to Reading last friday leaving Slough about 6pm
It seemed that every train out of london to reading was delayed (I believe in the Langley area( which caused major delays. It also seemed that some HSTs were using the slow "UP" line. The Frome train I needed to catch from Reading to Thatcham was redirected to Platform 5 which is unusual. I think there may have been a passenger unwell situation on a train which was being held on Platform 4 which may have been a contributary factor.

I was referring to services from Paddington to Reading through Slough. From memory (and I know I hadn't been on a train for a couple of weeks) 4a at Reading only services trains from the Wokingham line.

Ha ha but (generally) trains run a lot slower on the relief lines.. Hence the fact people will quite often refer to them as slow ;DUp Relief.
