Has anyone seen any mention of heat-related speed restrictions over the last couple of days?

There were two delays on journeycheck earlier said to be caused by speed restrictions due to hot weather.
Logged
A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU▸ (Diesel Multiple Unit) is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

I was on this train the 15:12 ex Padd.  The driver stopped short at Hayes as the plastic sheet / bag just above the leading coach, luckily the driver spotted it so it did not get wrapped around the Pan.   The train was evacuated and the next service 15:27 ex Padd stopped on platform 1 and held to allow the transfer.

Got caught up in this one. Axle-counter failure on the down main at Didcot East Junction. There was a service on the up main that was caught up for some time too, so I suspect there might have been a bit of points detection failure in the mix as well. Third down train in line to be talked passed signals at danger.

165 111 worked 19:30 to Windsor and return now parked in platform 1 Slough (22:15) shut down with lights off. Out of fuel or failed?
GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) website gives.

Due to a fault on this train between Slough and Windsor & Eton Central the line is blocked.
Impact:
Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled or suspended. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice:
Replacement road transport has been requested to operate in both directions between Slough and Windsor & Eton Central. Further details of this will be advertised when the road transport has been sourced.
First Bus route 8: Slough (Bus Station Bay Cool - Windsor (Theatre Royal) - Egham (Church Road) are conveying passengers via any reasonable route until further notice.
South Western Railway are conveying passengers between London Waterloo and Windsor & Eton Riverside in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.
