Thanks for that, ET. I'm sure that the RAIB (Rail Accident Investigation Branch) has checked all this, and hence have nothing to say further as they understand the issues..

NOT infrastructure, but delays today (28th December)
Cancellations to services between London Paddington and Reading
Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident between London Paddington and Reading some lines are closed.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed or revised. Disruption is expected until 11:00 28/12.
Customer Advice
We are sorry for the delay to your journey today.


Can you tell me more about the incident?
It is with great sadness that we report a person has been struck by a train. Some lines have now reopened to allow the movement of trains once again but it will take a while to reintroduce a full service. Until that is in place, where we can, we will divert trains to run on other lines around the affected area.

Here you go: these are all of the posts for the calendar year 2023, which I have split off from that original (huge!) topic.

While doing this 'housekeeping', I reviewed the content of those posts, and it reminded me that 2023 was a rather shocking year for the rail industry - particularly Network Rail and Great Western Railway.

Hopefully, things will improve in 2024.  Roll Eyes

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post - a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London, depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
