Alterations to services between Slough and Ealing Broadway
Following damage to the overhead electric wires between Slough and Ealing Broadway some lines have now reopened.
Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 14:30 04/01.
................they're not even being used yet are they?

I think ChrisB is a little wide of the mark as the Hayes electric services use no new electric wires over what the existing Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect services use. Will try and find out the real reason...

Is that an auto-generated public message? Whatever it was due to, I can't see any trains that were affected. Mind you, with only 10 minutes between the problem and its fixing (or rather the messages about them) it would be hard to spot.

Nowhere. Although why mention Slough to Ealing Broadway if it's on the existing Over-Head Line Equipment (OHLE) network? Also, the Hayes electrics seem to have been unaffected.

So people know that they can still reach Slough from the west or Ealing Broadway from PAD» ?

As suspected it was on the new section of Over-Head Line Equipment (OHLE) still to be commissioned, and no doubt still with temporary fixings. From the NR» log:
13:22 Advised by TVSC» Slough Signaller that a member of Balfour Beatty staff has requested the Up and Down relief lines blocked to allow him to access the overhead lines to tension the overhead line on the up relief 17m 18ch as it is touching the tops of trains.
Not great that another bit of new kit is interfering with trains, but the disruption was minimal and again it's not a reflection of how durable the new kit will be when fully installed and commissioned. If you are guessing ChrisB, perhaps indicate that with a question mark after your post like you did in your last reply?

Because, if it had been the original OHLE, and there was nothing in that message to suggest otherwise, the answer to Alterations to services between Slough and Ealing Broadway
Following damage to the overhead electric wires between Slough and Ealing Broadway some lines have now reopened.
Train services running through these stations are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 14:30 04/01.
................they're not even being used yet are they? Would have been as I stated. Thinking aloud, I accept the use of the question mark, but only because it may also have been the Connect services. |

The question mark makes the world of difference - otherwise I'm sure most would have read that post taking it that you knew the cause, rather than making what turned out to be an inaccurate assumption.

More As suspected it was on the new section of OHLE still to be commissioned, So *not* between Ealing & Slough? Have you taken GWR▸ to task as heavily as you did me? As they will surely have misled a *lot* more pax than the few reading my response. |

17m 18c is at Dolphin Junction. That's between Ealing and Slough, so nothing to take task about.

Very slow running into Paddington this morning. This is due variously to a points failure at Ealing, a track safety inspection and a broken down train, according to gwr twitter.

I was on the 7.17 Maidenhead to Paddington HST▸ and we came to a halt rather sharply somewhere between Iver and West Drayton I believe. Apparently there were sparks seen on a train in front so the signaller stopped all trains and sent our driver to investigate.. That's what we were told anyway.. That delayed us by about 25 minutes in the end
