FIRST Great Western trains between Oxford, Didcot and London Paddington are suffering delays this evening due to emergency engineering work.

Network Rail is carrying out work on tracks at West Drayton, in West London, with fewer trains able to operate on the route as a result. 

Services are suffering delays of up to 45 minutes and disruption is expected to last until late tonight.

Passengers with First Great Western tickets can use South West Trains services between Reading and London Waterloo and CrossCountry Trains is accepting FGW tickets on services between Reading and Oxford.
