More train disruption after storms

Written By blogger on Friday, July 25, 2014 | 11:50 PM

Rail passengers in parts of southern England and Wales are facing further travel problems after stormy weather caused "major disruption" on Friday.

First Great Western cancelled a number of Saturday morning trains including several in to London Paddington.

South West Trains said engineers had worked though the night to avoid further delays after Friday's problems.

Lightning strikes and signalling failures had led to a series of delays and cancellations.

Services running between London Paddington and Reading, Swindon, Bristol and south Wales were affected by a strike at Twyford, Berkshire, at about 16:00 BST.

A strike in the Surbiton area of south west London also caused problems on services running from London Waterloo to Surrey and Exeter.

First Great Western has cancelled 10 services scheduled for Saturday morning "due to poor weather conditions earlier".
