A landslip between London Paddington and Reading means trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 60 minutes or cancelled.

Major disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Additional Information

An issue has arisen with the state of some trees at the side of a cutting between Twyford and Reading where an unstable area of surrounding earth has been observed. Owing to its location it is not an issue that can be easily resolved and until the matter has been addressed two of the four running lines in the area will be taken out of use and the remaining line capacity will not be able to carry the full advertised train service.
