Did any members experience/have any knowledge of this? Sounds pretty awful, people still stranded at Paddington at 0430.

Quote Engineering work is taking place between London Paddington and Heathrow, closing all lines. No TfL Rail services will run between London Paddington and Heathrow Terminal 4 between 23:20 on Saturday and 09:00 on Sunday. Customers for these services should use alternative routes.

Yes got that, but I think the issue was that the promised provision of buses between London & Reading was chaotic & woefully inadequate, (GWR tweets seem to bear this out) to the point of eventually giving up & putting people in taxis at 0430.....apparently only one member of staff present to marshal the whole thing.

Quote 08:05 London Paddington to Penzance due 14:15 will be started from Reading. It will no longer call at London Paddington. This is due to a broken down train.

Quote 15:00 Penzance to London Paddington due 20:21 will be terminated at Reading. It will no longer call at London Paddington. This is due to a shortage of train crew.
