This morning, the National Rail Enquiries website at www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/71469.aspx says of restoring services out of Paddington:

"Although signalling equipment is still under several feet of floodwater, thanks to some innovative thinking by Network Rail a temporary system has been put in place for the next few weeks until the water recedes."

Any idea what these "Innovative" temporary measures might be?

Speaking to TVSC signaller last night - Normal working on mains, Relief Lines have been resignalled to have just 1 section between Twyford and Maidenhead, talking past the entrance signal at Danger.
