Motorists in west London faced delays to their commute on Monday morning due to a broken down train.
A40 Hanger Lane Gyratory- e/bound exit slip partially closed- because of a broken-down train!! Q's on approach...
That’s right, a train (well carriage) broke down on the side of the A40 at Hanger Lane.
A @FGW broken down train causing delays on the roads now at #HangerLane You couldn't make it up! @fgwkmc
A40 Hanger Lane Gyratory (broken down train, cont.)- now there's irony for you! :)
Not any old carriage though, a First Great Western carriage.
BTW, yes it was a @FGW carriage on the back of the broken-down lorry at Hanger Lane Gyratory (as the more observant of you have noticed!).
"We apologise for the delay to your service."
Good news- the broken down train has, er, departed! All lanes now open on the A40 at Hanger Lane
