I know that when my phone lights up at 16:00 (the start of my SMS alerting window) that it's from GWR▸ ...
The residuals drag on...
Following a fault with the signalling system between London Paddington and Slough some lines towards Reading are disrupted.
Impact: Train services running to and from these stations are returning to normal. Disruption is expected until 16:15 10/04.
Due to a broken down train between Reading and Westbury the line towards Westbury is blocked.
Impact: Train services running to and from these stations will be diverted via Swindon. Pewsey will not be served. Disruption is expected until 16:30 10/04.

Explains the High Speed Train ( HST▸ ) that passed through Melksham at 16:33, much to the surprise of us passengers awaiting the 16:37 to Swindon which dragged in about 8 minutes late. Don't really mind ... plenty of London connections at Swindon (I hope). Edit: VickiS - Clarifying Acronym |

Perhaps rather interestingly, I have a very similar set up on my own mobile phone (my version starts at 16:30) - dating back to the days when I was commuting between Nailsea and Bristol. I haven't taken the trouble to update / remove that facility - if only because it reminds me why I so enjoy not having to rely on trains for my commute to work these days.   |

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.

Let's hope not ... but I'll admit to drawing a deep breath when I saw two successive threads on the WNXX▸ forum's "breaking news" section ...  |

Does anyone know what the issues are today. Both relief lines seem open as does the down main. The up main seems closed though Paddington to the other side of Slough.
Thanks.

There's a broken rail on the Up main near Southall. |

16:00 rolls around for the daily good news:
Due to a fault with the signalling system at London Paddington:
Impact: Train services running to and from this station may be delayed or revised. Acton Main Line will not be served. Disruption is expected until 16:45 18/04.
Customer Advice:
Any customers travelling to Acton Main Line should utilise London Underground Central Line to North Acton then Transport for London Bus route 266 (and customers from Acton Main Line same arrangement applies but in reverse).

Due to engineering works not being finished on time at Bath Spa fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
Impact: Train services running through this station may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes. Disruption is expected until 11:00 19/04.
This had knock on effects through Reading this morning (and a lot of angry people at Bath on Twitter). Was cancellation of 1A72 due to this ?
Non-infrastructural - a broken down train affected the Reading-Basingstoke line earlier according to my SMS alert. Realtimetrains says "a problem with the traction equipment (MC)."
Then I took 1L10 into Paddington which was late into Reading due to (according to the on-board announcments) a broken down train around Didcot.
Due to an Olympic style sprint at Reading I was only 5 mins late.

A lot of angry people at Bath on Twitter.
There would have been as Bath is already down to one Paddington train an hour due to only one platform being available. Other local services were cancelled as well. The sad thing is all the work being carried out will only partly benefit Bath passengers, enabling new trains to call, now electrification won't be coming through the station. |

UPDATE: Obviously more serious than just overrunning engineering work.
From Twitter: Disruption due to overrunning works at Bath Spa is expected until the end of the day.

And apparently a replacement coach service laid on around 0830 has broken down shortly after leaving Bath.
