165 111 worked 19:30 to Windsor and return now parked in platform 1 Slough (22:15) shut down with lights off. Out of fuel or failed?
GWR▸ website gives.
From RTT» : the last run was into Slough at 2045. Later runs today are flagged: "This service was cancelled throughout due to a problem with the on-board safety systems (M0)." |

Didn't see 20:45 arrival must have failed at the end of that journey, as it was already parked up at tea break @22.50 in the Manor. We (SWRS» ) had been discussing some very early pictures of Slough Station in Broad Gauge days. C1870/80s.
Send me a message if you'd like copies.

Surprised no additional stops, when I looked, being added to services from Bristol, South Wales and Cheltenham as a result of above but I suppose 387's stabled at Swindon can be re-routed using main lines for this am's traffic to the smoke or is that too simplistic for Swindon Control to implement. |

Probably quicker to go via Reading?
Platform 5 has no wires....

Yes it does. The area that doesn't have any wires, or more properly, where the Over-Head Line Equipment (OHLE) finishes, is part way along the Chester lines just west of the station. Which is where the problem was as a pan was raised slightly too early on the 22:01 Oxford to Paddington last night. Edit: VickiS - Clarifying Acronym |

Is that an understatement as I thought they weren't supposed to raise the pantograph until they have stopped in the station? Similiar to the procedure for London bound trains that stop on Platform 2. |

That's correct. Although you can raise the pan anywhere at 20mph or less. Anywhere the wires have been installed that is, which is where the problem probably was!

That's going to take some explaining. |

They have been some additional stops inserted into some evening services to Bristol TM‡: 16:30, 17:00, 17:30 (? - included in some info and not others) & 18:00 at Tilehurst, Goring & St, and Cholsey. |
