Due to failure of the electricity supply between Reading and London Paddington some lines towards London Paddington are closed. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed. Disruption is expected until 19:00 06/07.
Disruption continued well after 19.30. A GWR▸ all stations from Paddington left from platform 3 packed to the gunnels. Many did not touch in - you can't at platform 3. But the gateline staff were getting pi$$ed when pax pushed through. 30 mins later an HCon from Paddington left platform 12 again packed, leaving many on the platform some with suitcases. No announcements as to the disruption. No Hcon staff / managers visible.

Due to a safety inspection on a train between Didcot Parkway and Swindon some lines are blocked.
Train services running through these stations may be cancelled or delayed by up to 45 minutes. Disruption is expected until 13:00 09/07.
Customer Advice Our Control Room have received reports of a fire alarm sounding on a train between Didcot and Swindon. Response teams are on site investigating. Only one of the two lines normally available can be used between Didcot and Swindon, so congestion will occur

Normal working resumed between Didcot and Swindon after the issue with the fire bells sounding on a High Speed Train (HST▸ ) (again!). Original train delayed by over an hour but at least the reversible signalling came in handy as trains were able to be routed round it, albeit with delays.
A timely example of how having such signalling, currently being commissioned between Didcot and Oxford of course, can be a real help in such situations - even if not used very often.

The reversible signalling through the Vale of the White Horse also comes in quite useful when some forms of engineering work are taking place in the late evenings. Quite often my train has been signalled onto the up line between Didcot and Swindon.

2nd update:
Due to a fault with the signalling system between Slough and London Paddington some lines are blocked. Impact: Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised. Ealing Broadway will not be served. Disruption is expected until 14:00 17/07. Customer Advice: Following repairs to the initial fault with signalling cables, a second unrelated fault has now occurred in the area meaning 2 of the 4 tracks are affected. Thames Valley stopping services will be revised in both directions. Passengers wishing to travel from Slough, Reading and stations further west to Ealing Broadway should travel to London Paddington and circulate for stopping services to Ealing Broadway. London Underground are conveying passengers between Ealing Broadway and London Paddington in both directions until further notice. Arrangements have been made for Great Western Railway rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.

Because of major disruption this afternoon at Waterloo there's currently acceptance for SWR» tickets on GWR▸ but I wonder if that'll now be withdrawn? (and in other travel-related news, apparently Heathrow is currently on stop due to a fire alert at air traffic control...)
