Looking at the real time log it looks as if it mangaged to break down between Langley (pass 1E) and and the entrance to the West Drayton Up goods Loop (Just West of Iver Station). Where it was booked for a 1 hour 46 wait.
Looks like Murphy's Law (Rail) A train will always breakdownw in the most inconvinient place!

And ironically, after having caused approx 1 hour delays to many FGW▸ trains this morning, it looks like the freight has since passed Acton Wells Jct running just 30 seconds late! |

Today's treat is a broken down freight train at Langley, with 20 minute delays into Paddington. I've been stop/start since before Slough.
Edit : I'm already 40 mins late, still nr Southall
Nice to have a bit of variety at least, makes a change from signal failures, FGW▸ train failures,staff "unavailability", leaves, rainfall, sunshine etc? |

As far as I can see on RTT» , that goods train (663V) rejoined the Up Relief as scheduled, and has passed Willesden 3L. 1P91 went through Langley P4 after it.
The train that's showing as lost in transit isn't a goods train, it's 2P17 RDG‡-PAD» , which shows as still in Langley P4. So 663V would have had the relief line all to itself to West Ealing. The next few trains crossed to the Up Main at Dolphin Jcn.

Just heard a rumour that a Turbo has now failed at Ealing Broadway, I believe it might be 2P34 0834 DID» -PAD» which according to RTT» has gone nowhere since 1008. Never rains...

Journeycheck has changed... Due to a broken down train between Slough and Hayes & Harlington all lines are disrupted. EDIT: 2P34 has passed Acton West 70 down. Ouch. |

That's going to go down well at the intermediate stations. Langley, Southall, Hayes were all packed with people as I crawled through on the 'fast' line. I could see the station boards showing multiple cancellations and the advice on Twitter was to go direct to PAD and double back to intermediate stops. |

...........not sure if the rumours are true, but I hear the new FGW▸ staff uniform has been inspired by the Keystone Kops...........

I remain unconvinced. 2P17 is now shown on RTT» as This service was cancelled between Langley and London Paddington due to a problem with the traction equipment (MC). 639Z 0554 Acton T.C. to West Drayton A.R.C. went "off the record" from 06:21 to 08:41, but the delays started after 07:30. I guess there are quite a few places for a goods train to lurk without getting its presence detected. |

Python-esque scenes spring to mind of a bloody great freight service hiding behind trees etc...  |

I'm now delayed 15 mins passing Maidenhead on the way home due to an earlier train fault.
This day is just total fail.

And it looks like it's by no means over yet, services currently at a stand in the West Drayton area, FGW▸ tweeting about a train having 'hit something'. EDIT: Now sadly being confirmed as a fatality. |
