A fault with the signalling system between Southall and London Paddington is causing disruption to and from London Paddington. Trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 25 minutes or revised.
A normal service is expected to resume by 21:00.

The inner Thames Valley infrastructure, where most of the problems seemed to lie, does seem to be generally more reliable recently.

Is that because the crossrail team is not doing as much work to it and around it?

Really, it was from the 7th, as the 12th was a train failure...

Due to an operational incident between Slough and London Paddington the line towards London Paddington bound local stopping is blocked.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 minutes or revised. Acton Main Line will not be served. Disruption is expected until 09:00 27/11.
Customer Advice:
Underground services are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.
London Buses are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice.

I'm stuck between Hayes & Southall. The word is a driver went through a red signal & train derailed near West Ealing.

TfL» (Transport for London - about) rail have tweeted that it's an empty passenger service that has derailed.
Lots of ire directed at GWR (Great Western Railway) and their 'operational incident'.

[ Also reports of a lineside fire near Southall overnight ]

It was an empty train leaving West Ealing sidings.  Went past a red light and derailed on catch points.

Fire was at West Coast's Southall depot.

I had plenty of time to observe the aftermath this morning whilst stationary due to the derailment! Looks like one of the old carriages in their sidings was completely gutted.
