Mostly back to normal now, except "A fault on a train between Newbury and Bedwyn means fewer trains are able to run on all lines. As a result, trains between these stations may be cancelled.We expect this to continue until 19:30."

It may be a strike day, but sure enough.......
Delays to services between Reading and London Paddington
Due to a points failure between Reading and London Paddington trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards London Paddington.
Train services running to and from these stations may be delayed by up to 15 minutes. Disruption is expected until 14:15 26/08.
Additional Information
There is currently a points problem in the Slough area. Points are the moving pieces of rail that enable trains to change tracks. As a result of this services towards London Paddington are having to run on a slower line on a portion of their journey between Reading and London Paddington which may incur a small delay.
Furthermore, there is a fault with the signalling system in the Southall area that is also causing further delays.

They're not, but always reactive - so will take time to rectify. Meanwhile reports go out....

Judging by the performance over the last 7-10 days there appears to be a problem across the whole area so I would hope they will be investigating the root cause/treating it accordingly and not just applying tape and bits of string as and when this is happening once or twice daily. |

Yep with the added complication of in many places accessing lineside equipment requires a line block and always requires a line block if going onto the track. Modernising Maintenance and Modernising Management my also have resulted in some skills gaps, people have had to be let go to meet Government driven cost targets |
