Commuters can expect major delays this morning after a landslip between Twyford and Reading.

Trains between Reading and London Paddington are currently delayed by up to 30 minutes, with cancellations and revised schedules expected.

The incident was first reported at approximately 4:48am on Monday, February 26.

A spokesperson for Network Rail said: "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.

"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."

The Elizabeth Line and Great Western Railway are being affected by the issue.

Passengers are urged to check before they travel.

A Network Rail spokesman added: “Our engineers are on site working to safely reopen all lines as soon as possible, but disruption may continue throughout today.”
