The first Down train (0523 Paddington - Swansea IET ) between Didcot and Swindon on Th 21/10/21 following an Engineers possession being given up, hit a PW trolley near Challow which seems to have been left on the line.
Very luckily a potentially very serious incident was avoided because the trolley was deflected off the track by the leading vehicle of this train, which eventually passed Uffington at 08/54,163 mins late and was terminated at Swindon.
There were as a result extensive delays and disruption to following services.
