There signalling problems in this area on wednesday morning when i was traveling on the 07:28 Swansea - London Paddington service which was delayed by this, then had the problem of sitting just outside swindon station because of a failed train blocking 1 of the platforms.

Eventually after loosing more time after departing from Swindon we arrived in Paddington at  around 10:15
