I dont know the finer details of the issues
Yesterday 1 of the lines leaving Paddington (don't know which) was out of action at Acton due to a defective track.
This was all cleared and service back to normal by the evening peak.

Today same issue has happened again
Is this the same stretch of track both days ?

The Down Main track prior to Acton Main line station had become out of alignment causing trains to lurch heavily as they passed over it, a line block was placed on it for some time before a 50mph Emergency speed restriction was implemented and work to fix this was carried out overnight/this morning, as is normally when any of the 4 track railway is out of use, contingency plans of turning stuff at Reading and reducing the overall number of trains had been implemented, all sorted now
