10:07 London Paddington to Bedwyn due 11:19
10:07 London Paddington to Bedwyn due 11:19 will be started from Reading.
It will no longer call at London Paddington.
This is due to a tree blocking the railway.

The same tree and a knock-on effect, or two different trees??

The Cornish tree problem was initially flagged up as being 'cleared to run' after 09h00.
Now extended to 13h00.  Tree brothers suffering from Sunday's b-b-q perhaps; or "wow! what a huge tree (sharp intake of breath); that'll take some time and cost mister"

Services in the Thames Valley are currently being delayed due to "an object caught in the overhead wires". I don't know if the 'object' is a tree but it would certainly suggest it's a separate problem to the one in Cornwall.  :)
