Does anyone know why ALL trains to / from Heathrow have been cancelled
without notice for TWO days?

Some reports say signal failure, others say cable theft, others say
points failure at Airport Junction, others say was a fire at
Paddington.

BBC news this morning said it was a fire in lineside signalling
equipment. So at least three out of your four (or a full house if the
stolen cable provided power and the result of that was an overload in
the next nearest supply cabinet).

Also most (all?) Intercity trains from Paddington to the West were
cancelled. Again rebooking is likely to be an issue since all
subsequent trains are likely to be fully booked.

Are they running reservation-only services?
