On FGW▸ (First Great Western) website:
Line problem between London Paddington and Slough.
Train services have been disrupted due to a person hit by a train between London Paddington and Slough.Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays of up to 60 minutes may still occur.
Train services have resumed and are now able to call at Southall. South West Trains have agreed to pass First Great Western customers between London Waterloo & Reading / Windsor via any reasonable route. London Underground will pass FGW customers between Paddington and Waterloo via any reasonable route.

Yup. Person hit by a HEX I believe at Southall.

Bit chaotic at Paddington with everything caught up in the (rail) traffic including services on the Greenford branch - took me about 10 minutes longer than usual to travel between PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) and AML, but that's nothing compared to the delays to other services!

Met a familiar person to this board while I was waiting at Paddington too!

I got my usual 17.06 from PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) which left 7 minutes late but after much stop-starting on the Down Main between Ealing Broadway and Southall it finally reached its first stop at Twyford at about 18.00, some 33 minutes late. I've just looked at Live Departure Boards, the 17.33 has taken 56 minutes from PAD to Twyford with one stop at Maidenhead and is expected 31 minutes late at Reading.

...and a non-stop Reading - Worcester Shrub Hill (apparently):

18:22 London Paddington to Hereford due 21:33

    This train has been revised.It will no longer call at: Oxford, Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-In-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham and Pershore.This is due to a person hit by a train earlier.

My usual 16:27 was showing delayed, then the 16:42 came up Plat 14 despite 5 cars on the platform the train ran as a 3 car.  Left on time packed and standing first stop Ealing Bway it skipped W Ealing and Hanwell then all tips n shacks remaining packed and standing to Maidenhead where it connected with the 16:42 Marlow.

17:50 was in the path of 18:22 so 18:22 was diverted via Swindon
