I'm crawling along on 1A70. It's been a lousy morning commute this week.

Yesterday was another bad commute.. 8.02 MAI▸ to PAD» too full to get on.. 8.06 cancelled.. 8.11 an impressive 2 coaches.. Well done on that one GWR▸ .. I opted for the 8.16 stopping service as I didn't fancy being stuck in delays because of this in a cattle truck... Got to work half an hour late..Ho hum...

An interesting way of expressing the intention of passengers doubling back. |

Railways are terrible for using weird language. Took me years to even work out what the hell "alighting" was!

1. If you have an important engagement, it usually makes sense to take one train earlier than then you really need (discuss)
You would risk the royal visitors getting there before the paint has dried. 2. I was also nearly an hour late home. Why didn't that make The Metro's web site?  Beats me too! |

Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between London Paddington and Ealing Broadway trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 20 minutes. Disruption is expected until 20:00 05/02.
This is optimistic. I'm 20 late leaving Paddington.

The service is no better ‘under the wires’, it’s just another reason/excuse for something to go wrong.

Message has changed: Cancellations to services between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington
Due to a safety inspection on a train between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington trains have to run at reduced speed on some lines towards London Paddington.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 40 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 20:00 05/02.
Customer Advice
Great Western Railway Local inner London services being most severley affected with delays of up to 40 minutes together with result alterations and cancellation of services. As a result of congestion in the Paddington station area Main Line services are also subject to delay.
Great Western Railway tickets being accepted on London Underground from Ealing Broadway, Acton stations and Greenford.
London Buses are passing Great Western Railway ticket holders via any reasonable route along the Paddington / Ealing Broadway / Southall / Hayes corridor.

Same shit. Different year.
No trains to Maidenhead at peak tonight. The 18.19 was On Time until 18.18 at which point it had Maidenhead scrubbed from the list of calling points. Other services simply cancelled.
Any chance of help from the Helpdesk? Nope. A grand total of zero concourse staff to assist this evening. Not one. I found 8 of them huddled halfway along platform 2 though.
Utter utter utter uselessness. As always.
