Paul Clifton has been reporting for BBC on the damage that has resulted in the closure of the train line between Didcot and Oxford. He says that there is talk of the bridge over the Thames not being in use until June.

He tweeted "Average 42 freight trains a day from Southampton docks. Yesterday 17 ran, all diverted via Acton."

Can any local rail buffs advise on the implications of this for Chiswick ? Are we affected by the lines which are used for the diverted traffic ?
Is the re-routed freight traffic a significant amount for the usual use of the line ?
