The sun has appeared and so there is a points failure in LTV (London [and] Thames Valley). Disruption expected until 16.00 but I’ll be equally delighted and surprised if it is fixed by rush hour.

No speed restrictions yet due to heat though which is a bit surprising.

Additional Information
Two axle counters have failed at London Paddington. Axle counters are sensors on wheels that talk to a piece of equipment on the track to help track the location of trains. When there is a fault with axle counters, signallers are unable to determine if a section of track is occupied by a train.

Network Rail techs are on site attempting to fix the failed axle counters.
