Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between London Paddington and Slough some lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until ... As a lighter relief on this thread - a reminder that overhead problems are not unique to the Thames Valley (from IOM Today) The Laxey to Ramsey section of the Manx Electric Railway will be closed for the next couple of days.
An MER spokesperson said: 'Due to essential overhead wire repairs it is necessary for us to close the line on Wednesday (April 12) and Thursday (April 13). |

It's been snowing on the Isle of Man today as well. Delays to ferries also. Hopefully things will have calmed down by next month for my trip. |

Back to the Thames Valley!
Cancellations to services between London Paddington and Slough
Due to a tree blocking the railway between London Paddington and Slough:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 19:30 12/04.
There is a tree which has fallen onto the railway and is making contact with the overhead electric wires, near Acton Main Line station. This means that two out of four railway lines are out of use in the problem area.

Seems the GW▸ main line into Paddington is the most unreliable rail route into London.

The unit on the Windsor branch also failed and had to be swapped out.
Meanwhile there’s a temporary 50mph restriction on the down main between Reading and Didcot Parkway. Not sure how long it’s been there but causes services to lose a bit of time.

And nearly caused me to miss my 8 minute connection at Didcot yesterday because we were then held outside the station waiting for a path into Platform 3. |
