"Brought in external experts" .................... that's a worry !!!!! Are DfT» /HMT happy with the expenditure on external experts? Given that the issue of the daily collapse of the service is now receiving attention in Parliament and more widely in the media I guess they have to be seen to be doing something or at least making the right noises about it. Certainly more noise that Messrs Haines/Hopwood are making about it anyway. |

Report at around 18:00 Cancellations to services between Reading and London Paddington
Due to the emergency services dealing with an incident between Reading and London Paddington all lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled, delayed by up to 90 minutes or terminated at and started back from Reading. Disruption is expected until 21:00 20/01.
Customer Advice
**Initial report**
-
Network Rail confirm that a train has struck a person between Reading and London Paddington. Consequently all lines are blocked.
-
Lines will likely remain closed for a minimum of 60 minutes, potentially more depending on incident developments. Following lines reopening there will then be an extended recovery period whilst we recover the timetable. Our thoughts with friends, family and staff - and with the person involved if (s)he is still with us. Edit to add - not Infrastuture, but reporting here as this is amongst the wider issues on the London to Reading line that so often lead to severe disruption and must be stopped. And looking to full acknowledge these events and to discuss / see what can be done without giving them the wider publicity around guests and shares that new threads get. Member feedback on whether to post here would be welcome. |

......from National Rail (nothing on Journeycheck)
A fault with the signalling system between Maidenhead and Reading means some lines are blocked. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised. This is expected until 14:30.

Apologies for going off on a tangent...... this always amuses me. How else can you get from London Paddington to Newbury or Didcot without going through Reading? Similarly, the CIS▸ at Exeter St Davids..... "Exmouth via Exeter Central"  |
