Back to Christmas, and the diversions - it would appear that NR» /Crossrail are in the process of trying to obtain a 4day complete block between Paddington & east of Slough. HSTs▸ into Waterloo as before & Marylebone
Be interesting if they get it....
FGW▸ have just shared a presentation on Major Possessions 2015-2017. Once I've digested it, I'll post again with some details. There's a LOT of work to be done.
Re: HSTs into Waterloo, would that be via Reading rather than Salisbury as the work at Reading would be complete by then? Thinking about it, probably quicker for WoE services to go via Salisbury. I will have to dig out old timetable alteration booklets from the last time FGW diverted WoE services to Waterloo via Wokingham to see what the journey time differences is between the two diversion routes into Waterloo. At least this time FGW would be able to operate trains from the West terminating at Reading, plenty of platforms! |

Off to a flying start today!!!
Delays to services at Reading
Due to over-running engineering works at Reading all lines are blocked.
Impact:
Train services running to and from this station may be delayed by up to 25 mins. An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as the problem has been fully assessed.

One of the problems with Journeycheck. There are no shades of grey. The problem is one emergency stop board - like this one - left in the wrong place.  |

Left at all, not just in wrong place.
Lack of info on Reading platforms. Took 15mins to apologise, then finally blamed it on late finish, which technically (very) it was...but the real reason came over staff radio in shot of my ears!
Is the comp due after 30mins or an hour on RDG‡-PAD» ?

.........seems to have been going on for much of the day, is it as drastic as it sounds? I am supposed to be heading that way later  Due to signalling problems between Oxford and Charlbury all lines are blocked. Impact: Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 14:00 20/04. |

... and it's lasting longer than was thought:
Due to signalling problems between Oxford and Charlbury all lines are blocked.
Impact:
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 16:00 20/04.

I'm noting trains running in 2 halves ... London to Oxford and Charlbury to Worcester, with the extra half scheduled in the original path. Can the bus get from Oxford to Charlbury in 20 minutes, or is the net result drop back of an hour or so for passenger (I can recall that happening to me from Ingatestone to Witham ... very irritating!)

That'll be drop back at least an hour then, with the bus going via intermediate stops

Seems to have been caused by a points failure which was made worse by a train running through the set of points in question when they were set against his train (not the fault of the driver). The damage caused to the points meant they could not been used with pilot man working being introduced.
Had a big impact on XC▸ services with one train running in excess of 100 minutes late.

According to National Rail web site: "Lines are now open, residual delays may occur. "
