I gather the Over-Head Line Equipment (OHLE) was switched off within 5 minutes of the first report of the engine fire to the signaller (which was made as it passed Maidenhead), so that would have been before the fire services arrived on site, though obviously communicating that fact to them would take a little longer. Only two tracks were available out of the four due to an engineering possession which complicated things a little.

If there was no risk to life or the fire spreading from the confines of the engine compartment / cab etc then the Fire Brigade may have waited until the RIO▸ was on site (RIO Rail Incident Officer) likely to have been a MOM▸ (Mobile Operations Manager). I expect a Bronze or even a Silver Command would have been established between the various control centres ( NR» , Fire, BTP▸ , Ambulance and TOC▸ ) This a well document process, which the various organisations hold regular liaison meetings |

A fault with the signalling system at London Paddington has been resolved and services are returning to normal. Delays of up to 20 minutes to journeys to and from the station is expected to continue until 10:00.

Re Slough Fire, it was a little emotional heading back on the 23:18 from Pad to Reading...... stopped for an hour outside Pad, then a little longer at Hayes and Harlington, before pulling into Reading around 03:20hrs.
Whilst we were having a slow, information free adventure up the main line (thanks to a knackered Tannoy system on the little donkey train), those remaining at Pad had to wait until the station staff agreed to organise taxis at around 03:00 hrs in the morning.
Not one of the network's finer moments for incident management........!

Just to keep this threads record up to date: The signalling on the Up Main between Taplow and Slough failed yesterday evening (Sunday 30/07/2017) and caused some disruption for two or three hours. Hopefully TAPLOWGREEN was tucked up in bed by then.....  |

Got caught in this failure on the Valley Legend (Pad to Ebbw Vale and Tower Colliery.
Should have been around 15 early but crawled signal to signal from Birkenhead.

Good morning....................?
Due to engineering works not being finished on time between Slough and London Paddington some lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 10:00 03/08.
Customer Advice
Owing to enginneering work not finishing on time, this is affecting the relief lines between Slough and Southall which are currently blocked, we are unable to operate the full timetabled service to and from London Paddington at present. There will be a reduction in the frequency of train services (in both directions) between London Paddington and Reading / Oxford. Any other train service cancellations or alterations will be advised on an individual basis.
