Barnes disruption

[DarloRich]

Are there problems at Barnes tonight? If so does anyone know what is going on?

Signalling problems, delays of up to 60 mins, but a lot of cancellations from what I can see.

Windsor & Eton Riverside and Reading services are diverted via Kingston.

yes i know there is a signal failure. I have just heard some conflicting reports as to what caused the signal failure. I dont really want to post them but wondered if anyone had the "word on the street"

I doubt that a track circuit failure would cause this much disruption, unless it was all the circuits that decided to not work.

TC in question holding the route across the junction, I understand - would certainly have the potential to cause some delay!

 

[jnjkerbin]

Could it be a TCF that has caused points to be locked in the "wrong" position?

EDIT: Tomnick beat me to it

Not much on the company mobile other than 'because of signalling problems at Barnes all London bound lines are blocked'. Delays up to 60 minutes are to be expected until the end of service, some services are being diverted via Kingston and Hounslow. The following stations also have no London bound services until further notice:
St. Margarets
Richmond
Northern Sheen
Mortlake
Barnes
Putney
Wandsworth Town

TfL are accepting affected passengers on the LUL and Buses, it also looks like SWT are trying to source replacement road transport too.
