The freight train is still stuck there. Obviously there's a lot more caution involved when the cargo is in any way hazardous. Looks like it'll be moving (slowly) to Didcot Yard shortly.

Caution of course, but 4 HOURS??? Was there a problem eg with the running gear that needed a part or person from far away?

Yes, on one vehicle brakes were stuck on and have caused serious damage to the wheelsets. Now on the move and approaching Didcot, so the Down Relief line should be open shortly. |

Ahh I wondered why this didn't move at all when I was walking past. It was a DB» class 60 pulling tankers sat in the green gap between the edge of Reading and Pangbourne.

The green gap aka Purley on Thames! When I saw these posts while "lurking" on my smartphone leaving Guildford after an after hours strategic meeting with a senior colleague I thought I had been fortunate in missing the aftermath of this. Sadly, the train I was aiming for (the 20-22 ex Reading, immediately preceding one of those annoying 35 minute gaps in the stopping service timetable) was cancelled, so there was an unwanted 50 minute wait at Reading, with not even a pretty sunset by way of compensation! |

It's not clear whether that cancellation (of the earlier inbound service) was related to the line closure or not. The line was cleared at about 18:30, so "an issue with the train crew" might or might not be knock-on. When I passed though at about 16:00 I saw the "all lines are closed" warnings and was surprised to find no trains showing as cancelled or more than a few minutes late - at least, not in the next 20 minutes or so. |
