Anyone know if this was on the track or actually affecting the wires?

On the track.  A wooden sleeper was hit by a HEx service.

That might explain the HEx in platform 8 this morning at 07:15 as well as the associated fitter.

Cancellations to services between Hayes & Harlington and London Paddington


Due to a broken down train between Hayes & Harlington and London Paddington the line towards London Paddington is blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 60 minutes. Disruption is expected until 18:30 03/12.

Mains are closed due to engineering work so only Reliefs available but apparently a freight train has failed and is blocking the UR. According to RTT» (Real Time Trains - website) and OTT▸ (Open Train Times website, or possibly 'over the top', depending on context), 1A83 0947 Penzance to Paddington has now been stuck at West Drayton for over 2 hours. RDG▸ (Rail Delivery Group, or Reading station, depending on context)-WAT is unavailable due to planned engineering works so presumably people are being routed via Guildford or Basingstoke?

I'm on 1A87. Was held at Newbury race course now unscheduled stop at Theale until further notice. All platforms at Reading more or less blocked. There doesn't seem to be much movement anywhere at the moment...

Apparently 1A24 (Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington service) is behind you, being held at Newbury Racecourse.  It is already 30 mins late and has no catering today.
