The coffee shop's visual map of services is useful for an at-a-glance impression of things this morning, and for once it doesn't look as though it's been attacked by a furious three year old armed with a red crayon... so, Severn Tunnel, see you in a bit.

Appears to be ongoing this morning, or possibly another points failure as there are a number of cancellations and part cancellations.

Looking at Journeycheck, Intercity services appear to be terminating at Reading.

Photo on Twitter  suggests that the fire is perhaps an electrical fire? So cables will have been damaged.
