Indeed, the internet has revolutionised the information passengers can obtain prior to arriving at the station.  Some passengers from stations between Twyford and London might have chosen to use SWT (South West Trains) or Chiltern stations instead - and vice-versa when there are problems on those lines.  Forewarned is forearmed.

Looks like it will be one of those days.  The new Oxford to Marylebone service will be proving very useful in keeping passengers from Oxford and the Cotswold Line moving into and out of London then!

Well I've come back home. To be fair some replacement buses were being put on to Reading and Oxford, but the former wouldn't have got me there in time. Glad really I was stuck in the station though and was able to do this rather than being outside it. May try again this afternoon if everything is mended ... indeed I see it may already have been to some extent.

Yep, all open again, but it'll take some time to get rid of the residual delays from both that incident and the signalling problems at Hanwell.

Except that some trains on the Cotswold line are being cancelled or starting at Oxford. This usually happens as soon as there is some disruption and they want to get the trains running back in some sort of regular schedule.

Just the one return trip unless I'm missing something? The 09:20 PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains)-WOF and return 12:06 WOF-PAD have been cancelled as far as Oxford on the return journey.  Additionally the 10:20 PAD-HFD» (Hereford - next trains) is terminating at Worcester.

Don't know whether it's an escalation of the above or a new incident but...

Due to a safety inspection of the track between Reading and London Paddington all lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations have been suspended between Reading and Hayes & Harlington. All stations between Reading and Hayes & Harlington will not be served. Disruption is expected until 13:00 26/03.
Customer Advice
Network Rail are carrying out vital railway upgrade work between Reading and Hayes & Harlington which means there are changes to train services to and from London from 00:15 until 13:00.

Some High Speed Services will be diverted, and replacement buses will run between Reading and Heathrow, for train services into London.

Wherever possible, passengers should travel after 13:00. Tickets for earlier services will be accepted on all GWR (Great Western Railway) services on Sunday.

Alterations to services between Reading and London Paddington ...

I note:

Quote
Services to and from Bristol Temple Meads: An hourly train service will run between Bristol Temple Meads and Oxford.

Another good idea that should be a permanent addition to the timetable!
