I do wonder exactly keeps failing. There are many components associated with points that are not necessarily part of the mechanical points themselves. Is it detection? Track circuit sytems?

We are sorry for the disruption to your journey today, due to a points failure in the Slough area, the high speed lines are blocked. This means our high speed long distance trains and other operators local stopping trains are having to share the same lines.

Breathtakingly hopeless...............

Cancellations to services between London Paddington and Reading

Due to a fault with the signalling system between Slough and Twyford all lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 09:00 05/03.

Train services between London Paddington and Reading will be cancelled.

Customer Advice
Due to a fault on the signalling system between Slough and Twyford, the trains that run from London Paddington to Reading in both directions are unable to leave the depot. This means we have had to suspend the train service.
