Cancellations to services between West Ealing and Greenford
Due to a points failure between West Ealing and Greenford all lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations will be cancelled. Disruption is expected until 07:30 23/01.
Customer Advice Apologies to customers hoping to travel between Greenford and West Ealing this morning. Due to a set of points freezing due to cold temperatures, we're currently unable to get our trains off the main lines and onto the Greenford branch. Network Rail are sending technicians to site to see if the issue can be rectified as temperatures are not set to rise much at all today.

Cancellations to services between Reading and London Paddington
Due to a points failure at Maidenhead some lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 10:30 23/01.

Additional Information We are sorry for the disruption to your journey today.
Due to the failure of a set of points just to the East of Maidenhead, one of the lines from London Paddington to Reading is blocked and this is causing congestion as trains have to use a reduced number of lines.

That leaves a conundrum as the alternative line through Swindon is closed for engineering work all day.

Which begs the question why engineering work was allowed to take place on the Berks and Hants with the line via Swindon also closed for engineering work leaving GWR▸ no route in which to operate London services to/from Bristol, South Wales and the West Country

Looking at RTT» , services are at a standstill at various points of the network waiting for the line block to end.

Three engineering trains were put in as STP during last week, so presumably it was urgent work on the track (or possibly something else). Just one of those things, I guess. PS: there are further engineering trains out today - a TRU (a baby track measurement train) is currently approaching Bedwyn.

Update, sounds worse than first thought
Alterations to services between Reading and London Paddington
Due to a points failure between Twyford and Slough some lines are blocked. Disruption is expected until 11:00 23/02.
Train services between Reading and London Paddington may be delayed or revised.
Customer Advice A set of points had failed in the Twyford area, leading to the discovery of a further fault. In order for techs to repair the fault, some lines need to be closed. This means we only have 2 of the available 4 lines in use, requiring us to enter a contingency plan.
