Most trains delayed by hours or cancelled to/from Paddington and
points west of Slough. FGW services in complete disarray. Been going
on on most of Sunday afternoon, evening.


Must have missed that: I departed Reading at 14.33 - the train was
nearly 10 minutes early arriving from Paddington.

Sounds like cable theft again to me! THere was some major problems at
Barnes a few weeks back for the same reason. I suppose on a Sunday
there are more hi-vis wearing bods about so they wouldn't look so
suspicous. I mean generally a signal failure or signalling problems
wouldnt amount to this level of disruption would it?
