Not necessarily ... possible scenario ... someone has messed up the staff rotas and they're investigating who that someone was. But whoever it turns out to have been, the 19:13 departure from Reading will have to wait until around 19:30 so that the staff arriving at 18:59 from Great Malvern can take a required personal needs break.

The Great Storm of 1987 saw higher wind speeds than were brought by Darragh.

I'll just stick to reporting on the bits I notice of the shockingly poor performance of GWR on the OWW in future

The roofs and canopies at Limehouse and Benfleet stations were destroyed, and £300,000 of damage was caused to construction work on a new train ferry pier at Dover Western Docks station.

Given the exceptional weather - yes entirely reasonable. 

Of course it may beg the question as to how much more as a country we need to do by way of climate change adaptation works to make structures more wind resilient in future.  You may ask at what cost but one opposition politician suggested that that might be cheaper than carbon net zero, but then I get the impression they meant leave it for the next generation to pick up the bill rather than thinking  it needed doing now. 

A shame that services couldn't run to Worcestershire Parkway and reverse there. I see an ECS made it through Shrub Hill earlier: https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:36768/2024-12-08/detailed
