Due to a person being hit by a train at Ealing Broadway station , all lines between London Paddington and Slough are closed.

Ticket acceptance has been authorised with London Underground, Chiltern, South West Trains, London Midland and Virgin to enable customers to take alternative routes.

Total Travel South @Traffic_SouthE tweeted at about 3.30pm today (August 1):"Trains: person hit by a train at Ealing Broadway means services to/from London Paddington are subject to delay/cancellation."

Until lines reopen customers for Oxford are advised to travel via London Marylebone and customers for Reading via Waterloo on South West Trains services.

An estimate for the resumption of normal services will be provided as soon as possible.
