There’s a 6-car Turbo out doing RDG(resolve)-PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) locals this morning, it did 2R11 0642 from PAD and appears to be scheduled for 2P28 0818 from RDG. I’m guessing that this might be as a consequence of the Over-Head Line Equipment (OHLE) damage which happened at Didcot a couple of days ago? Everything I’ve seen on locals on Saturdays since the start of last year has been 387s, indeed I’m currently on one.

Customer Advice

GWR (Great Western Railway) High Speed services will not be calling at Twyford.

I'm watching OTT (Open Train Times website) Maps and Down fasts and semi-fasts on both the Main and Relief are running on time but just not stopping at TWY (Twyford station) when scheduled to do so! What exactly is the problem?

A driver reported a track defect so there was a short closure of that line, an examination by another train and all reportedly ok.  Trains not stopping at Twyford during the time there was one line shut and shortly after until congestion had eased.
