Not really a railway infrastructure problem, the fire was on adjacent land that threatened the railway infrastructure also the OLE▸ would have been discharged and the lines blocked to allow the Fire Service the freedom to fight the fire https://www.sloughobserver.co.uk/news/20610218.langley-fire-breaks-near-railway/ |

Alterations to services between London Paddington and Reading
Due to damage to the overhead electric wires between London Paddington and Reading fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed by up to 70 minutes or terminated at and started back from Reading. Disruption is expected until 07:00 23/08.
Customer Advice
A train may have caused damage to the overheard wires in the Slough area. Where possible, trains will use the faster high-speed lines. This will lead to congestion in the Slough area, where 4 lines are reduced to 2.

Looks like the signal failure is ongoing (assuming it's the same one) |

Train services running to and from this station may be delayed or terminated at and started back from Reading. Disruption is expected until 10:00 07/09.
Customer Advice

Additional Information
Several axle counters at London Paddington have failed. Platforms 10-14 are closed. Axle counters use magnetic fields to help signallers determine a train's location. When there is a fault with axle counters, signallers are unable to determine if a section of track is occupied by a train.
We are sorry for any disruption this brings to your travel plans today.

Coupled with a person hit by a train near Newbury there are lengthy delays for services coming from the west.

How do train crews manage if they run out of hours whilst stuck at a red in dual incidents such as this?
They can hardly refuse to move & sit down on the job?
Hadn't thought of that aspect before - guess the GWR▸ staff manager at Control will be aware of those issues & relieve staff at the next convenient stop, even if the crews affected are long out of hours.

Network Rail are expecting Paddington to be closed for the WHOLE DAY. This is not the day to close a major terminus that serves Windsor.
