Slough, Maidenhead and Twyford have a ‘very limited’ GWR service this morning due to a defective track between Paddington and Reading.
The defect in the Slough area has caused all trains on the fast line from London towards Reading to stop and wait for an inspection to take place.
As a result, Great Western Railway has had to reduce the number of trains it operates through the affected area.
Trains must run at reduced speed on some lines. Trains running to and from Reading and Paddington will be cancelled, delayed or revised.
Any GWR service continuing to serve these stations are likely to be ‘very busy.’
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Customers travelling to and from Maidenhead, Twyford and Slough are encouraged to use Elizabeth Line services on which GWR tickets will be accepted.
The Elizabeth line is conveying passengers between Reading and London Paddington via Maidenhead and Slough in both directions until further notice.
Arrangements have been made for GWR rail tickets to be accepted for these journeys.
