Between London Paddington and Reading

Description

Urgent repairs are needed to the track in the Southall area. This means fewer trains are able to run between London Paddington and Reading. As a result, a reduced service will run on this line.

A reduced service is expected until 05:00.

Customer advice:

Great Western Railway have had to reduce the number of trains running from Reading to London Paddington tonight. Until Midnight, a more limited train service is operating, although customers can still travel between the two stations. A change at Reading may be necessary for some customers travelling from or to further afield.

However, overnight train services from London Paddington to Reading are cancelled.

Some road transport has been arranged to cover, this is very limited, and so customers are advised to delay their journeys wherever possible.
