With all these signalling problems, surely it must be a nightmare being a signaller? Some must dread coming to work. Of course, that is also the situation with passengers!
Some relish disruption as it makes the job more interesting. The time certainly flies by... |

I must admit that when I am stood on a freezing platform waiting for yet another delayed train, jumping up and down to keep warm and already anticipating the Boss tearing me a second one for being late (again), my first thought isn't always with the welfare of the signallers who are at least somewhere warm drinking tea.  But the there is the S & T engineers stood out on the track side in the freezing cold and or pouring rain trying to fix the fault |

From my second day on the railway I was told: "During rain, fog and falling snow into the cabin we shall go". Also, we do have the reputation amongst signallers of being the Sick and Tired department.     |

Interesting reason for that one, a car door was reported open on one of the car transporting freight trains! Soon rectified though, so should cause few problems for this evening's rush hour - indeed some planned alterations were hastily rescinded when disruption didn't last as long as initially thought.

It currently says:
Due to urgent repairs to the track between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice: A section of track outside London Paddington station requires some remedial work so that section of line is not available for use today. As a result fewer train services are able to be accommodated at London Paddington station which has necessitated some train service cancellations and alterations.
