Rail lines reopen between Reading and Paddington

Travellers faced major disruption on rail services earlier between London Paddington and Heathrow Airport and Reading but all lines are now reopen.

Damage to overhead electric wires was the cause.

Network Rail confirmed engineers have fixed the damaged overhead electric cables on the route.

The company apologised for the problems caused to passengers' journeys this morning.

A spokesperson said: "We'd advise passengers to check before they travel via National Rail Enquiries or their local train operator."

National Rail said trains could still be cancelled, revised or delayed by up to 60 minutes.
