:03:05. > :03:08.And it's also been a difficult week for many commuters, especially those
:03:09. > :03:09.using Paddington Station where there've been large numbers of
:03:10. > :03:12.delays and cancellations. And there could be more bad news as engineers
:03:13. > :03:14.consider closing the mainline at Maidenhead so flood`damaged
:03:15. > :03:24.signalling can be replaced. Here's our Transport Correspondent, Tom
:03:25. > :03:29.Edwards. Every morning 35,000 commuters use
:03:30. > :03:33.Paddington station. This week it has been a struggle with only one in
:03:34. > :03:38.five trains are running. It has been bad, I am having to go the long
:03:39. > :03:44.route by Waterloo. London to Redding is normally about 50 minutes. The
:03:45. > :03:50.trains are not moving. The trains have stopped. They are just standing
:03:51. > :03:54.at the station. The disruption on the great Western line is caused by
:03:55. > :04:00.signalling failures at Maidenhead. Signal boxes are submerged. The
:04:01. > :04:04.water table is 20 metres higher than normal and won't drop, save the
:04:05. > :04:10.Environment Agency, for weeks. The speed limit through the area is just
:04:11. > :04:16.five miles an hour. And sources have told the BBC engineers are now
:04:17. > :04:20.considering a block closure of a week or more of the great Western.
:04:21. > :04:27.That would cause huge disruption. Then engineers could either raise
:04:28. > :04:31.the track or refit the signalling. Passenger groups are pragmatic. If
:04:32. > :04:36.we are told two weeks grief will lead to ten years resilience,
:04:37. > :04:40.without the delays we have had up until now, they will probably live
:04:41. > :04:45.with that. Not happily, but resolutely. It is a huge commuter
:04:46. > :04:50.belt. The number of people travelling into Paddington on a
:04:51. > :04:54.normal day is crowded. With the problem is further in the
:04:55. > :04:58.south`west, that would put more pressure on the rail `` road
:04:59. > :05:03.network. Network Rail says it has no plans to close the line and options
:05:04. > :05:07.to increase capacity at Maidenhead will be announced. The train
:05:08. > :05:12.companies are not ruling out anything. If there is no evidence
:05:13. > :05:15.that water will not dissipate, we will have to look at how we move
:05:16. > :05:23.some of the signalling equipment to work around it. But nobody should be
:05:24. > :05:27.under any doubt, it is a big job and a challenge. All options are under
:05:28. > :05:31.review. Commuters using the great Western face disruption. This will
:05:32. > :05:41.raise questions about infrastructure resilience.
