Train services at Paddington Station are suspended, disrupting the journeys of mourners heading to London or Windsor for The Queen 's funeral.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said, are blocked due to damage to overhead electric wires.

The Problem is affecting journeys for passengers travelling from Reading and Heathrow Airport .

Services run by GWR, Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth Line are disrupted.

The rail firm said Chiltern Railways , Transport for London (TfL) and Southern Railway are taking passengers via any reasonable route until further notice.

The lines between Reading and Newbury are also closed after a person was hit by a train.
