It currently says:

Due to urgent repairs to the track between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington fewer trains are able to run on all lines.
Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customer Advice: A section of track outside London Paddington station requires some remedial work so that section of line is not available for use today. As a result fewer train services are able to be accommodated at London Paddington station which has necessitated some train service cancellations and alterations.

I think the overrun was further West......this is just LTV (London [and] Thames Valley)'s daily treat.

Cracked points on a crossover on Line 3 outside Paddington according to a poster on WNXX (Stored Unserviceable, Mainline Locos HQ All Classes). Being replaced today so the crossover and part of Line 3 are closed hence the restrictions.

Today's daily treat.....

Due to urgent repairs to the track between Slough and Maidenhead the line towards Reading is disrupted.
Train services running through these stations may be delayed by up to 20 minutes or running non stop between Slough and Reading. Burnham and Taplow will not be served. Disruption is expected until 14:00 06/03.
Customer Advice
A minor defect with the track has been discovered just to the West of Slough station, on the Reading-bound fast line.

Trains may use other lines in the Slough area, or be cautioned over the affected section at a safe speed.

Network Rail Engineering teams are being mobilised to effect repairs, and some thinning of the train service will be required from 12:00 to allow them access to the track. This is expected to last a maximum of 2 hours.

Through services between London Paddington and Bedwyn in both directions will start/terminate at Reading. Customers should change at Reading for alternative train services.

Local stopping services towards Reading will not call at Burnham or Taplow while repairs are carried out. Trains towards London Paddington are unaffected.

Customers travelling TO these stations from the East should travel through to Maidenhead or Reading, and change at either of these stations for services back to Taplow or Burnham.

Customers travelling FROM Burnham or Taplow wishing to travel West towards Maidenhead, Reading etc should take first available service to SLOUGH and change for Westbound services there.

Got turfed off my THA-PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) service at Reading at around 1125, but being Reading jumped on an HST (High Speed Train) to PAD within a few mins.

We did slow to a crawl around 1 to 1.5 miles west of Slough, but were on the UM so not sure that was related.

Probably waiting for a train(s) to cross over in front of you from DM to DR at Slough West Junction I would imagine.

We seem to be returning to a situation whereby there are significant/long lasting incidents on a daily basis.

.....well I guess if you've experienced amoebic dysentery, then even regular diarrhoea  represents an improvement?

I dread to think what Southern commuters might have been popping to see their GP about over the last year then...  Wink
