From National Rail Enquiries. Nothing on JourneyCheck but a number of delays at Reading as I type:

An earlier fault with the signalling system at Reading is causing delays of up to 25 minutes and cancellations to journeys at this station. We anticipate a good service will be operating by 18:15.

Customers travelling from Hanwell, West Ealing, Ealing Broadway and Acton Mainline to London Paddington should travel via Southall.
Additional Information
A track circuit failure in the Ealing Broadway area means one of the two lines into Paddington is closed. Trains have to use the one open line, and this limits the number of trains that can pass through.
To reduce congestion, GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) stopping trains will not call at stations between Southall and London Paddington.
The Heathrow Connect service is suspended.
