Connected to the lineside fire which was designated vandalism last night.
Able to use Elizabeth Line for local stations & GWR are running IETs on diesel power across the affected area.

Over 100 service updates this morning ...
05:11 Didcot Parkway to London Paddington due 06:20
05:11 Didcot Parkway to London Paddington due 06:20 will be terminated at Reading.
It will no longer call at Twyford, Maidenhead, Slough and London Paddington.
This is due to vandalism of railway equipment.

Looks like all Didcot and Newbury services to Paddington are being cut short at Reading.
No "line updates",as yet - but then it *is* the middle of the night, so that may come. No alternatives suggested, and no indication as to whether it's trains. track or signalling that's been vandalised. No doubt we will learn in due course.
