    Technical information in delay message (03/09)

    Saw this today in a GWR network status message: I'm impressed they're giving some technical detail like this, and it certainly makes me more sympathetic to what's going on. Is this new that they go into this level of detail? If so, long may it remain.

    Train hit tree near Reading?

    I'm at Reading on the delayed 1O84, apparently lines to Guildford blocked as an earlier train has hit a tree and got damaged. Does anyone have any info beyond that? I hope it's not serious enough that anyone got hurt? Edit: now moving, 39 minutes late.
