No London Underground until 9am.

[Brucey]

No London Underground until 9am.

Is this on all lines?  There are no details on the TfL^» (Transport for London - about) website.

The only disruption to TFL^▸ (Transport for London) services was the London Overground network according to other forums.

FCC^▸ (First Capital Connect) have annouced a shutdown at midnight tonight

[Timmer]

Apologies. Overground not Underground.

[ChrisB]

Integrated Control Centre. Should be in the Glossary...

[bobm]

FGW^▸ (First Great Western) are saying on Twitter that the down sleeper will only run as far as Plymouth.   Nothing on Journeycheck as yet.

FGW Twitter now saying they made a mistake - sleeper running through.

Assuming that you actually meant to refer to our 'acronyms and abbreviations' page, ChrisB - yes, it is now.

Is there any idea when a decision will be made on an amended timetable for FGW^▸ (First Great Western) tomorrow? Most other Operators seem to be publishing details whereas FGW are just saying there "may" be an amended timetable.....presumably there must be a time by which they'd have to decide and release the details? I'm an early bird so could do with knowing!!!

....................so what about local Paddington-Reading services???  (This was from the NR^» (Network Rail - home page) website by the way, still nothing on FGW^▸ (First Great Western)'s except an assurance that details will be available by 2000 tonight)

For the record, the First Great Western website showed this at 20:19 this evening:

Severe Weather Warning Monday 28th October

Current weather forecasts indicate that there will be severe adverse weather, overnight from midnight on Sunday 27th October until mid-day on Monday 28th October.  As well as rain, very strong wind speeds have been projected.

There will be a requirement to run trains at reduced speeds for all or part of the journey and some routes will have a reduced train service.

We are planning on running trains on all lines, with the exception of the route between Guildford and Gatwick which is suspended until at least 09:00.

Please continue to check this website as full details of alterations will be published by 20:00 this evening.

Please follow us on Twitter @FGW^▸ (First Great Western) for real time updates and your questions answered.

...............so NR^» (Network Rail - home page) website is ahead of FGW^▸ (First Great Western)'s own?

Local services between London, Reading and Oxford are expected to run as normal. There is a blanket 50mph speed restriction across much of the FGW network tomorrow morning which will cause severe delays to fast services but should have only a limited impact upon stopping services.

FGW^▸ (First Great Western) site now says revised timetable will be on there by 22.00 tonight not 20.00... Which is good really as they were directing people to Twitter for "realtime" updates who were in turn directing people back to FGW site.. It passes the time I guess
