Looks like an intra-day fix is in progress:
Due to urgent repairs to the track between London Paddington and Hayes & Harlington some lines towards Slough are blocked. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled, delayed or revised. Acton Main Line will not be served. Disruption is expected until 15:00 26/04. Customer Advice: Selected GWR▸ services will serve Hanwell and West Ealing. London Underground are conveying passengers between London Paddington and Heathrow Terminal 5 in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys. London Buses route 140: Hayes & Harlington - Heathrow (Central Bus Station) are conveying passengers between Hayes & Harlington and Heathrow Terminal 5 in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys. London Buses are conveying passengers between London Paddington and Slough in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.

Not sure what happened exactly but by the time I was at Paddington at 4.30pm there were delays and a total lack of information (no surprise there then!)... They announced that the 4.49 PAD» to MAI▸ was delayed as it was late from the depot on it's inward journey.. This was in fact made up as it left Reading traincare depot early... sigh...

It arrived at Maidenhead 25 minutes late (not bad for a 20 minute journey) so I'm not surprised!

Considering it arrived Twyford 28 late, with the next shuttle scheduled for just 8 minutes later*, I really don't see why the connection off the 16:49 would be held or the need to complain about it. * Departed 6 minutes later than planned to maintain connection off the 17:18 off Pad

I can find you examples that are much worse - such as 10 minutes delay turning into 2 hours late, though not in the Thames Valley where train frequency leads to less of a knock-on, but for people who are (perhaps) more noticed by the powers that be.

There's been lots of TV examples that I've been caught up in.
Delays from Paddington mean missing the Reading - Didcot stopper. Then you find the next one is cancelled or will run fast to Didcot. This injects a 1 hour delay into a 1 hour journey.
Even in the peak it's not uncommon to be 45 minutes late where services are running just a little late.
Late evening is even worse where if the order of trains is swapped by the signaller you end up with an hours wait at Reading (gotta love the footbridge).

Extensive delays and cancellations in the Thames Valley this morning due to trespassers at Didcot. Ironically the 07.10 Maidenhead to Paddington (which was one of the few that ran) arrived with blood smeared all over the front of it.

I was on the 0605 from Charlbury, got delayed at Oxford - the guard said someone had climbed a signalling gantry in an apparent suicide attempt (just beyond Oxford). Believe all was resolved without injury and I made it to Paddington with a 15 minute delay

I saw that at Twyford this morning. Was quite disturbing. I wondered if it had been a bird strike?
