The Journeycheck item is not well written, particularly the opening para. The item doesn't even state that the new Hayes shuttle stops at every station.

Full stop tonight. The 19.00 to Bristol has come to a stop near Ealing with smoke onboard. Nothing moving. Joy.

Just the three trains badly delayed by over 30 minutes, including the train which was the culprit. Couple of local services cancelled as well to free up some slots on the relief lines.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

......and prior to that, no service for Burnham/Taplow for several hours in the morning, and after that more track problems between Maidenhead/Reading causing major delays to late evening services I won't recount all my woes in detail here (I got stuck morning and evening, and spent a total of six and a half hours travelling to and from work yesterday due to the railways failings) - thankfully my rail replacement service (Mrs TG) dropped me at Slough in the morning, and collected me from Uxbridge Tube station at about 9pm last night, but yesterday really was one of those days when you ask yourself if we have a railway worthy of the name, on which a lot of us spend thousands of ^ annually. One thing I will say for yesterday evening though, the comms was better and clearer at Paddington - people were left in no doubt whatsoever that there would be no trains leaving for some time, and they would be better off trying Waterloo for Reading etc etc - better bad news than no news at all. I was headed for Waterloo via Baker St when I spotted a Met Line train for Uxbridge and realised that would be a better option, however I fear the two spousal "rail replacement" services may cost me more than I had thought!!! Lets hope for better today. |

I like the comment from 'bj east london' below the Standard article: "Carnage"?? Very inconvenient for travellers but nobody died. |

I was due to travel on the 00:20 (ish) this morning from RDG▸ to Thatcham which was cancelled just after it was due to depart - apparently one of the signalling team that controlled the section of track we were due to travel on was taken sick and no replacement. On this occasion I can't fault the comms from GWR▸ - to the point when we got on the replacement bus a GWR team member came on to the bus and apologised. It wasn't all plain sailing through - the bus driver didn't even know where he had to go but this was no fault of GWR. |
