The incident on the Elizabeth Line led to disruption and train cancellations for services between London Paddington and Reading and onwards to Oxfordshire last night.

All lines between London and Reading were blocked as the incident was dealt with and trains were delayed.

A spokesperson for GWR said: "I can confirm that emergency services attended an incident between Reading and London Paddington late last night which impacted our train services running through the area.

"We arranged for ticket acceptance with Chiltern (via Marylebone); South Western (via Waterloo - Reading) and London Underground.

"Lines reopened a little after 11pm."
