Alterations to services between Oxford and Reading
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Oxford and Reading some lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 12:30 10/12.
Some seriously running late services into London right now. The 09:00 from Bristol Temple Meads was held at Swindon for over an hour alongside a service from Swansea.  |

Great pic Bob. Not great if you were on either of those trains of course.

Thanks. They were probably warmer than me!  Once the service did resume platform 4 wasn't in use for down trains with all services being crossed to platform 3 and up trains using number 1. Not sure if there was a points problem or having got them set it was thought safer to leave them lying the same way. Another possibility could be that the snow was still lying thickly on the uncovered parts of platform 4 and staff were concentrating their efforts on the island platform. |

Don't know if it was the same problem but services into Paddington were being delayed as well. 30 mins late in from Twyford this morning.

So a system designed over 100 years ago and worked succesfully since then all over the world, is suddenly no good.... I give up with NR» ....  |

Is it the intermediate token instrument at Bourne End that is causing the grief?

Thought it was a "staff" on the Bourne End - Marlow and a "Token" on the Maidenhead - Bourne End ......................... Either way Pilot(wo)man operating in place |

Its the same on the Looe branch with token Liskeard to Coombe Junction and Train Staff Coombe Junction to Looe. I have never known that installation to fail......(and I was responsible for its maintenance for 6 years). |

I think maintaining it might have caused the problem ................. the level crossings had road closures over the weekend so I would not mind betting something when TU during maintenance ........... the old BR▸ ODM moto if ain't broke maintain it ............ then you can repair it |

All those pesky signals on the Marlow branch again ...mmm. There is one at Bourne End at the end of the Marlow platform and the other STOP boards are classified as signals. There are also FIXED DISTANT boards on both branches |
