Some lines towards Maidenhead blocked due to track defect

A track defect between London Paddington and Reading means trains have to run at reduced speed on some lines today (Friday).

As a result, trains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.

This will affect Elizabeth line services between Abbey Wood and Maidenhead and Great Western Railway services to and from London Paddington. 

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Tickets will be accepted for the following services:

• Chiltern Railways between London Marylebone and Oxford / Banbury in both directions.

• London Underground between London Paddington and London Marylebone

• CrossCountry between Reading and Banbury

• South Western Railway services between London Waterloo and Reading

Ticketes can also be used on later trains today (Friday).

For further assistance or information, speak to a member of the train crew or station staff.
