Cancellations to services between Chippenham and Swindon

Due to poor rail conditions between Chippenham and Swindon trains have to run at reduced speed on the Swindon bound line.
Impact:
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 mins or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

...............surely its not too hot today? Not good with people trying to get away before the strike starts.

Perhaps the rails were damaged by the stone train that had an unsolicited brake application this morning.

Edit: Nope. There's a kink at Chippenham.

Not sure which one though. Could be Ray, could be one of the other band members.

Probably. But a domestic disturbance is one that happens in a domestic environment. I doubt those involved lived on Maidenhead station.

Or it could have been a ruckus between two charladies!

Don't agree - a ';domestic' can occur anywhere - often in pubs/clubs etc. Just means partners arguing

I'm with Chris B on this one - it's certainly not restricted to the house - try watching the Jeremy Kyle show! (......I don't....honest.....someone told me about it!  Embarrassed  )

Most trains to or from Greenford now cancelled due to signalling problems. Again, not of course the fault of FGW (First Great Western) but such frequent failures do to me cast doubts over the competency of network rail.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.
