Due to a track circuit failure on the Reading lines at Basingstoke a FGW service was diverted to the mainline platforms at Basingstoke. The train arrived in Platform 2 but had to shunt via the up fast to Platform 3 to enable it to return to Reading. The train departed as the late running 16.37 service to Reading.
There images were caught on a mobile phone hence the quality is not superb.
