3 hours Ealing Broadway - Taplow last night via District Line/Picadilly Line/81 bus from Hounslow/severely delayed train at Slough. Not great but TfL» seem to have got their act together at Ealing - nearly all staff were on the platform and there seemed to be a plan - they all had tablets and were able to look up details, give people travel advice and alternative arrangements very quickly whether by bus/tube or whatever - none of the gaping mouthed hopelessness and gazing at blank screens that you tend to get at Paddington (if you can find someone to help). Got back to Slough at about 1915 to find that most of the staff had "done a Hopwood" - few or any to be seen and a lot of confusion - trains arriving randomly with no-one around to advise people where they were stopping, display screens not making sense, etc etc. Eventually got on the 1903 which arrived about 35 minutes late but I was one of the lucky ones. Off to Preston today via Euston/Storm Gareth - could be interesting!!!  |

Cancellations to services between Oxford and Didcot Parkway
Due to a problem with line-side equipment between Oxford and Didcot Parkway fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes. Disruption is expected until 15:00 13/03. I've noticed a couple of trains from Oxford arriving at Reading over half an hour late, and a number of Didcot/Oxford Oxford/Didcot services have been cancelled. |

Off to Preston today via Euston/Storm Gareth - could be interesting!!! Not my favourite northern city, although I lived not far away, and saw Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Gong, Rory Gallagher, Thin Lizzy, Sensational Alex Harvey Band, and a few others, and ended up boozing with Yes and David Byron. Actually, I quite like Preston. |

I would suggest it’s the armpit of Lancashire, but there’s no shortage of competition!

It does have an architecturally stunning bus station.

...and a fantastic reputation thanks to the association to a well-known joke about the two deaf men in the pub.

We Lancastrians like to keep [the impression] it that way. We know that a mile away from those Dark Satanic Mills there lies some of the finest and most beautiful country in England! |

I see they are making that claim AGAIN about Bristol being the biggest resignalling scheme ever undertaken....  .....and if they were honest enough, they should state that train performance couldn't have got much worse without bringing the network to a complete standstill. The only way out of that is of course to get better so no reason to bleat about it. |

Now reads: So far in 2019 delays are at their lowest for seven years and Great Western Railway (GWR) has seen its highest ever number of services running on time, with over 108,000 trains arriving on time with an additional 10,000 services running compared with 2012. |

Odd that they haven’t altered it to “each year” now, which is probably far more logical and sensible...
