Almost beyond belief.....again.

Cancellations to services between Reading and Slough

Due to a points failure between Reading and Slough some lines towards London Paddington are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled, delayed or revised. Twyford, Maidenhead and Slough will not be served. Disruption is expected until 15:00 20/03.

Customer Advice
Apologies to customers, Network Rail advise we have multiple points failures between Reading and Slough in at least 3 different locations. In addition the high speed line from Reading towards London is currently shut.

And the advice from GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) is to use the Elizabeth Line.....which is suspended between Hayes & Reading  Roll Eyes

......as if the multiple points failures weren't enough......

Cancellations to services between Reading and London Paddington

Due to a safety inspection of the track between Reading and London Paddington trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards London Paddington.

Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer Advice
We're sorry for the delay to your journey.

We will update this message with more information when we have it.
