Elizabeth line services have been suspended after a casualty on the tracks this morning, with no trains running between Paddington and Reading or Heathrow.
The line is partially suspended. Elizabeth line, Heathrow Express and Great Western Railway services have all been suspended while emergency services respond.
This is a developing story. Updates will be added to the live blog below as the situation changes.
The suspension covers the western section of the Elizabeth line, which runs from Paddington through west London to Reading and Heathrow. Passengers travelling to Heathrow Airport and Reading this morning are affected, along with commuters on the Heathrow Express and Great Western Railway services that share the route.
Trains between Paddington and Reading or Heathrow may be cancelled, revised or delayed by up to 60 minutes until at least 10.30am. No details have yet been given about where on the tracks the casualty happened. Emergency services are responding at the scene.
A similar incident on South Western Railway services between Feltham and Staines yesterday saw trains running normally again by the evening, after the line was closed for most of the afternoon. Major disruption has also hit services from King’s Cross this week, after overhead wire damage in North Yorkshire left passengers being told not to travel.
