How come this incident has also now taken out the Greenford branch? It was running fine for hours during this but it now hasn't run in over 2 hours. Same with the Henley branch, which hasn't run for over an hour.
Edit: forgot the Greenford is running the 230 today, so presumably it's affected...
Has the station fully reopened now? I've noticed that Paddington bound services have started running from there again instead of the ECS to Torquay situation.
There was always going to spare unit though, no? Or has that one since been withdrawn?
I'm also interested to know why the AT numbers are even a thing in the first place? For those same reasons, surely having any unit being able to run with any AT unit would work better than fixed sets?
Confirmed a 3 car 165, screenshots from Railcam. A 165 in which was moving very slowly so it being on skates seems the most likely. It also had one of it's interlock lights on during movement, interestingly.
Given how long it takes, it might be a unit being moved on skates? Not sure why it would be moving to Guildford and not Reading though. Will presumably be 165110, as that failed at Redhill yesterday and has been in the sidings ever since.
