Seems the GW (Great Western) main line into Paddington is the most unreliable rail route into London.

The unit on the Windsor branch also failed and had to be swapped out.

Meanwhile there’s a temporary 50mph restriction on the down main between Reading and  Didcot Parkway.  Not sure how long it’s been there but causes services to lose a bit of time.

And nearly caused me to miss my 8 minute connection at Didcot yesterday because we were then held outside the station waiting for a path into Platform 3.
