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?

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.
