Title: Reading West station - incidents (merged posts)
Post by: chineseJohn on December 15, 2011, 22:37:50
What a nightmare this afternoon for those affected.

I was lucky as the 17:06 I was on, was one of the first trains to go through after they cleared the line, so I was only delayed by 10 mins. When I reached Theale there were loads of people waiting for the bus replacement.

To FGW credit they had staff at what is not normally manned station on hand to help.

Not one of the ancient 150s which are suppose to be working the line?

My understanding was it was a freight train. Ok so these things happen but it just seems to be one thing after another in the last month.

It has been known for a few weeks that won't start for many months yet, so certainly not.
