Unit has now been put back on the rails and most of the damage to the infrastructure repaired. BBC report

I used to get this when printing tickets at Basingstoke, certain terminals seemed to be able to produce tickets that worked fine for the NR barriers but not the TfL ones. I quickly learned which terminals not to use!

Thanks. Just found some images on Google.

Where is it on the class 390? I've seen loads passing the various cams at Crewe but have yet to spot a unit number.

Caught it on the Railcam Watford cam.

Accidentally caught 5Q40 going south today whilst I was parked up behind the Basingstoke Leisure Centre eating lunch. Couldn't get the number however. It seems I just missed 5Q51 going in the opposite direction by a couple of minutes.

68013 (and also 68012) now appear to be at Crewe Gresty Bridge TMD for repairs, seen as 0K69 with 66302 hauling.

I've seen chatter that 68015 was sent to rescue but that has failed too. Might be Chinese whispers however...

1Z99 on route to rescue.

SWR Waterloo to Portsmouth, either via Guildford or the long way round via Eastleigh.

A few years ago the line between Woking and Farnborough was closed for the weekend. Coming back from London terminated at Woking and was bussed to Farnborough...only to discover there were no more trains for 6 hours or so! There was a busload of very unhappy passengers that night. Local taxi...

Basingstoke - Waterloo, stopping services normally from P4 (but sometimes the incoming terminating service will be at P1 and then return), the fast services usually use P3.

Looks like the current delay passing through that section is 2-3 minutes. It was closer to 10 minutes yesterday.

Clapham Junction

My nearest stations is Bramley on the Reading/Basingstoke line, never used it. However I have passed through it.

The return journey (presumably empty) is unusual too, as it goes via Southampton. https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/Q51977/2020-07-27/detailed

OK, found the original announcement of the Sunday Salisbury to Reading service. https://www.southwesternrailway.com/other/news-and-media/news/2019/march/swr-announces-it-will-be-introducing-additional-train-services-on-reading-and-windsor-lines I guess the weekday service is just an expansion...
