Totally agree - but some appear to be clouding that with having a disagreement & getting their own back when losing the discussion.

BTP▸ based on TfL» /LU are a completely different kettle of fish to the ones on NR» .
TfL BTP will arrest and ask questions later, NR BTP try their hardest to get out of doing any work at all.
Oh and TfL fund BTP very very heavily. NR/ATOC» pay the basic. Not that I'm implying that TfL give BTP arrest targets, and people get wrongfully arrested, no of course not!
In regards to spitting on camera, it's criminal damage. Spitting on a person is an assault oh and if the BTP were clever enough it would be an offence of "obstructing a railway servant exercising their duties" if carried out on railway land.

Further to the no slagging off other railway companies/orgs. Heres a message from Mark. Once again we have experienced severe disruption, to Monday morning^s peak services due to signalling problems at Twyford. This stopped all services between Reading and Maidenhead for several hours.
With the ongoing problems we^ve had with the network in the Thames Valley these past few weeks I will be signalling very clearly to Network Rail that they need to do better. They have a plan and I expect us to start seeing improvements to signalling reliability in the area soon.
It isn^t just local commuter services affected by disruption in the east, but long-distance services across the network also suffer from the knock-on effects, especially when lines are blocked as on Monday. Thank you to everyone who helped our customers and who responded so quickly and effectively to this situation ^ I received a personal message of praise for some of our on board colleagues from Vernon Barker, UK▸ Rail MD, who experienced Monday^s disruption first hand. |

"I will be signalling very clearly....." - I can see what he's done there!  but seriously he "will" be? why has it taken this latest fiasco for him to take some action? I doubt NR» are exactly shaking in their shoes at the prospect. |

He could probably save himself some time and cut and paste the email he sent the last time and the time before etc.....

.........do you think the "signalling" he will be using is maintained by Network Rail?

Just received...
Disruption has been reported between your selected stations London Paddington to Maidenhead.
- General disruption along the line caused by signalling problems may lead to delays after leaving .
So that worked well then.

Journey checker states - Owing to signalling problems between Twyford and Maidenhead trains have to run at reduced speed on London bound slow lines.
Impact:
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 20 mins at short notice. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.
My guess its likely to related to Monday morning fault. |

Currently sat on a stopper out of reading stopping at every signal for a couple mins each. Appears to only be affecting the relief lines as the mains are running at full line speed

When I travelled from Reading to Maidenhead earlier only the main lines were open.. But that was just before five so not really peak..

I'm currently sat on the main line just outside of Pad. Theey are running normally. That is we moving very slowly between each signal as they seem to most days.
