Over the last few weeks there appears to be a very severe speed restriction on the down line approaching Ashford (Surrey). Does anyone know why it is there? It's the on the last bit of my journey home to Staines. For those who travel this route every day it must be as irritating as hell...

Not sure whats causing it but where the road bridge is just after the TSR starts there is water building up on the down line in the 4ft shifting alot of the ballast around my driver noticed it earlier this week and had a look for myself coming back from weybridge. Its not pouring with water but its enough to move the ballast, it irritates the train crew as much as the passengers aswell trust me

Yes, very annoying, it causes at least a one minute delay on the journey every time I work to Windsor or Weybridge.

Yes, Middlesex! Well up to May 1965 when we lost our beloved County.
