A GWR▸ driver reported a rough riding over a set of points in the Langley area. Trains were initially cautioned. Following an inspection by NR» engineers an emergency 5mph speed restriction was imposed over the points. |

Cyclic top reported with the rail head observed moving vertically by 17mm with a train over it at 5mph.
I imagine that movement would have be considerably more at linespeed.

I got to Paddington just after 13:00. Train shed empty apart from HEX services. Lots of cancellations on the board. I'm on a very busy High Speed Train (HST▸ ) forming the 13:34 to Worcester Foregate Street. Out of Paddington 15 late - which is actually a lot better than I'd expected.

Defect was on the Up Relief. The Mains were closed for engineering work. Fortunately it was possible to stop the work early to allow them to reopen and enable the Relief to be closed for repair.

Impact: Train services between Swindon and Didcot Parkway are returning to normal but some services may still be delayed by up to 25 minutes.
Due to a fire on a train at Pangbourne some lines towards Didcot Parkway are blocked. Disruption is expected until 18:30 29/08.

Didcot signals have only failed 10 times this year, nothing much.

The 07:57 Paddington - Penzance via Bristol has just left Reading 66 late.
A delay that's not mentioned on JourneyCheck.

Think someone saw your post  07:57 London Paddington to Penzance due 14:16 has been delayed at Reading and is now 66 minutes late.
This is due to engineering works not being finished on time.
First class located at front. Catering is not available from Exeter St Davids.

Maybe part of the remit of doing the social media role for GWR▸ is to keep an eye on the Coffee Shop! They might learn a few things.  edited to add two missing words |
