    Paddington Station 24/7 - Channel 5

    I wonder where that crossing was the women jogger was on, maybe she was taking a shortcut?

    Was hoping to see some filming when it was essential travel only, but looks they started a bit later in July. When was the essential travel only period? Looks like they are blurring the places of those not wearing a fave mask. And it's a bit wrong to say "rush hour" as it doesn't exist anymore!

    I'm confused, was that last year? I cant believe they would edit it so quickly if it was this year??

    I have lost all confidence in GWR/NR to be able to manage an incident or engineering fault safely and effectively, especially after the power fiasco at the beginning. The incompetence is staggering, imagine if it was the other way round and power was turned back on without authorisation!

    This program has eroded by trust and sympathy for those working on the railways. I used to give people the benefit of doubt, but after seeing the farce that these "experts" put us commuters through, it's hard to have any sympathy for them.

    This new electrical equipment is really bad, they've had so many issues with it! They should sue the provider for all the shoddy equipment!

    Sad to see the death on the train at reading. As someone who lived in China, they value the many over the few, so they would have just dragged him out of the train and let it continue. That fire alarm is like something out of James Bond lol.

    So, did the BASRE signalling project improve anything? By my experience GWR still have constant signalling issues.

    In hindsight a failure of the insulating pads under the rails seems very obvious to non-engineering people like me. They would have been the 1st thing I would have checked.

    GWR has one of the worst routes I've ever commuted on. The Marlow branch is just so unreliable, GWR have had to put taxis to Maidenhead on many occasions.

    they are willing to disrupt hundreds of thousands of people, this is more then mere criminal damage.

    I dont see how not having the loco will delay them checking the sleeper carriages. It cant take 8 hours to hook up the loco! Anyone who nicks or sabotages railway equipment should be charged with terrorism offences.

    Shame the station staff where made to look like fools by management not being able to make up their minds on train calling patterns.
