Reading West station - incidents (merged posts)

« on: December 15, 2011, 22:37:50 »

What a nightmare this afternoon for those affected.

I was lucky as the 17:06 I was on, was one of the first trains to go through after they cleared the line, so I was only delayed by 10 mins. When I reached Theale there were loads of people waiting for the bus replacement.

To FGW^▸ credit they had staff at what is not normally manned station on hand to help.

My understanding was it was a freight train. Ok so these things happen but it just seems to be one thing after another in the last month.

It has been known for a few weeks that won't start for many months yet, so certainly not.
