@GWRHelp @nationalrailenq And that gets as far as Reading at 2141 (if on time); but will the schedule by adjusted for a GWR train to leave Reading westbound calling at Pewsey?

[John Howie @johnhowie]

@GWRHelp @nationalrailenq - with the #Southall incident ongoing, & trains still not moving, will the service run into the night?
Travelling from Waterloo to Reading on advice of your staff, but need to get onwards to Pewsey once at Reading.
Help appreciated.

Me after 3 hours at home with the children today.
#coronavirus is turning me grey.

Done it!
Now to run away and get some sleep.
Until he wakes up again...
Betting it'll be less than an hour.

[John Howie @johnhowie]

Getting in an early start tonight.
Means one of two things:
1. It's short term, he'll be back to sleep in no time.
2. Pack your bags (under your eyes) and strap in for the long haul.
I sense the most dangerous COA is also the most likely.

Son.Of.A....
Awake.
....
I give up.
Into the big bed we go.
Try again tomorrow, or rather tonight.

Going to gamble on an attempt to transfer...
How can he be snoring so loudly for 5 minutes and then literally stop and grab my arm and cling onto it?!
Anyway, here goes...

@B4ck1n Awake again at 0440 but I didn't want the phone light to further distract him and he was soon asleep again.
Try again tonight.

The battle of wills continues.
I get youngest to sleep.
I leave. He wakes.
I get youngest to sleep.
I leave. He wakes.
Ad infinitum.
It's been an hour already, I'm not giving up though!
Like being on #exercise, who needs sleep, apparently not the boy.

There it is!
He sleeps.
Not taking bets on how soon before he wakes up, the answer is obviously going to be 'too soon'.
Good night. 😴
