A nice big hole in this morning's peak service: 05:28 Hereford to London Paddington due 08:28 will be diverted between Worcester Shrub Hill and Reading. It will no longer call at Pershore, Evesham, Honeybourne, Moreton-in-Marsh, Charlbury, Hanborough and Oxford. It is being delayed at Hereford. This is due to a fault on this train. 07:10 Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington due 08:51 will be reinstated. It will be started from Oxford. It will no longer call at Moreton-in-Marsh, Kingham, Charlbury and Hanborough. This is due to a fault on this train. It'll be cosy on the following two coach Turbo which "will be started from Worcester Shrub Hill. It will no longer call at Worcester Foregate Street."

15:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 17:58 will be terminated at Oxford. It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern. This is due to a shortage of train crew. Last Updated:13/08/2018 16:00 and return 18:29 GMV: PAD» similarly affected. Hopefully GWR▸ will managed to get the 15:50 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh beyond Oxford today... [later] I get to Oxford station just after 16:30 and there's an HST▸ on platform 3. Presumably the 15:22 having decanted its passengers. No, it's the 15:22 ready to go through to Great Malvern after all. Fortunately, slightly late so I'm able to catch it.

The pattern that I'm seeing over the past month or so is of fewere cancellations, but a lot of late running, especially with down trains in the evening peak.
I'd like to propose the 17:22 Paddington - Hereford as being the least reliable train on the whole of GWR▸ :
Mon Jun 25 : 40 late Tue Jun 26 : 51 late Wed Jun 27 : 27 late Thu Jun 28 : 23 late Fri Jun 29 : 23 late Mon Jul 2 : 12 late Tue Jul 3 : 68 late Wed Jul 4 : 25 late Thu Jul 5 : Operated non-stop between Oxford and Evesham - but still 19 late Fri Jul 6 : Sorry - I don't have a record for this date Mon Jul 9 - Fri Jul 20 : did not operate on account of the Oxford blockade Mon Jul 23 : 71 late Tue Jul 24 : 23 late Wed Jul 25 : Cancelled Oxford - Hereford Thu Jul 26 : 37 late Fri Jul 27 : 47 late Mon Jul 30 : 24 late Tue Jul 31 : diverted via Stroud on account of a bridge bash near Evesham. 41 late Wed Aug 1 : 20 late Thu Aug 2 : 32 late Fri Aug 3 : 39 late
Mon Aug 6 : 25 late And for Tue Aug 7 : drumroll please,,,, just 12 late 8 Aug - 39 late 9 Aug - 37 late

Not looking good at Oxford at the moment: Due to a fault with the signalling system at Oxford trains have to run at reduced speed on all lines. Disruption is expected until 17:30 02/08.

And for the 31st time this year, the 15:50 Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh fails to make it beyond Oxford: 5:50 London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh due 17:26 will be terminated at Oxford.
It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh. This is due to a fault with the signalling system.
Last Updated:01/08/2018 16:42 and, as so often, a very late decision.

It will no longer call at Didcot Parkway, Oxford, Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Shrub Hill, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern.

An IET▸ ?

According to GWR▸ Help on Twitter This happened at Evesham. A2: We are currently sourcing road replacement transport and local bus ticket acceptance but this is proving to be difficult due to peak evening rush hour on the roads. The 15:22 Paddington to Great Malvern arrived at MIM 53 late according to Realtime Trains, though JourneyCheck says it will be diverted between Oxford and Worcester Shrub Hill and terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill. It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern but will call additionally at Cheltenham Spa. It is being delayed at Oxford and is now expected to be 120 minutes late. This is due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge. which was clearly not the case as it definitely arrived at Hanborough on time! The 17:52 PAD» : WOS» is running as far as MIM.

Cancellations to services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford Due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford all lines are blocked. Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed. Disruption is expected until 19:00 31/07. and amongst the alterations an odd looking one: 16:22 London Paddington to Great Malvern due 19:24 will be diverted between Oxford and Worcester Shrub Hill and terminated at Worcester Shrub Hill. It will no longer call at Hanborough, Combe, Finstock, Charlbury, Ascott-under-Wychwood, Shipton, Kingham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Honeybourne, Evesham, Pershore, Worcester Foregate Street, Malvern Link and Great Malvern but will call additionally at Cheltenham Spa. it's strange for such diversions to actually take in Oxford. update - seems it's quite serious: Cancellations to services between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford
Due to a road vehicle colliding with a bridge between Worcester Shrub Hill and Oxford all lines are blocked. Train services running through these stations have been cancelled or diverted via Cheltenham Spa. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice Network Rail advise the line is likely to be closed until the end of the day due to the structrual damage sustained to the bridge which poses a danger to the safe running of the railway.
GWR▸ services will be diverted between Reading and Worcester Shrub Hill calling at Cheltenham Spa. Services are likely to terminate or start back at Worcester Shrub Hull (sic).

I know freshly laid track and hot temperatures are not a good mix, but there is a certain predictability about this one: 15:50 London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh due 17:26 was terminated at Oxford. It will no longer call at Hanborough, Charlbury, Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh. This is due to a speed restriction because of high track temperatures.
Last Updated:23/07/2018 16:52 with the return run also affected.
