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.

Trains to London from Plymouth (and Penzance) substituted by a 150 to
Exeter St Davids "Auto-announcer: 10.41 to Exter St Davids, this train
does not call at Reading or Paddington"/"Person-announcer: Board this
train for Paddington, change at Exeter St Davids". I suppose FGW are
having trouble getting enough rolling stock down here yet.
