Cancellations to services between Reading and Slough


Due to engineering works not being finished on time between Reading and Slough some lines are blocked.
Train services running to and from these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 10 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until 08:00 05/10.

Reaching epidemic proportions now, especially in London area.   Not even sure now when lines were last handed back on time on a Sunday morning.
