Due to an object being caught on the overhead electric wires between Maidenhead and Slough fewer trains are able to run on some lines.
Impact: Train services running through these stations may be revised. Disruption is expected until 09:30 13/09.
Now reads: Due to an object being caught on the overhead electric wires between Maidenhead and Slough fewer trains are able to run on some lines towards Slough. Impact: Train services running through these stations may be revised. Disruption is expected until 10:00 13/09. Customer Advice: Due to plastic sheeting being caught on the overhead electric wires on the slow line towards Slough, GWR▸ electric services are diverted onto the fast lines and are therefore unable to call at Taplow and Burnham. |

Suspect last nights winds may have had something to do with this. 60mph+ gusts recorded at Heathrow which isn't far away.

Think how it could have been when carrier bags were free. It's not just turtles and whales benefiting. |

Messy at Maidenhead this morning. The 7.02 (6 carriage turbo) was formed of 3 coaches and the 7.08 (High Speed Train (HST▸ )) was formed of 2 carriages. The 7.16 (High Speed Train (HST) until a week ago) now appears to be a regular turbo.
So that's 22 carriages-worth of passengers squeezed into 11. Not good maths.
After a week off I'd almost forgotten how much I despise Great Western Railway (GWR▸ ) travel.

High Speed Train (HST▸ ) train managers appear to be in (very) short supply this morning. More training?

Due to a fault with the signalling system between Taplow and Maidenhead trains have to run at reduced speed on some lines towards Reading.
Impact: Train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 10 minutes. Disruption is expected until 08:30 21/09.

Trains were being 'talked past' a red signal that couldn't be cleared outside Maidenhead station. It's only having a limited impact as suggested and I think normal working has now just resumed.

Interesting platform 4 at Maidenhead seems OOU▸ .
Just seen 2N28 10:27 Padd - Oxf routed via platform 4.
2P42 09:35 Banbury Padd held outside Maidenhead to allow 5N35 10:35 Padd MDNHECS EMU▸ ECS▸ into stabling sidings, despite the fact that there was nothing behind 5N35 as far back as Langley so 2P42 could have had a clear run into the platform.

To quote the film director Michael Curtiz (per David Niven in his autobiography "Bring on the empty horses!"): You people, you think I know f*** nothing; I tell you: I know f*** all!"

And while someone's sorting that out, maybe they could find the long one on Thames Valley service delays/problems as it has disappeared from the TV board altogether.

Thanks for the heads-up, ChrisB - yes, I'll look into that one, too.  |

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.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
