According to Network Rail ,there was a rail disruption between Paddington in west London and Reading in Berkshire because of damage to overhead electric wires which led to thousands of mourners missing Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.Services run by GWR, Heathrow Express, and the Elizabeth line were disrupted.
Rail lines between Reading and Newbury were also closed due to a person being hit by a train.The GWR trains got diverted, delaying more journeys to the capital.“My sincerest apologies for the delays on such an important day for the country,” a member of staff told the passengers .Mourners intending to travel to the capital were advised to use South Western Railway services from Reading to Waterloo.
The issues come during one of Britain’s biggest transport operations as mourners descend on London and Windsor.National Rail Enquiries is showing that all services to and from the station are “delayed.”Heathrow Airport had previously urged airline passengers to use rail or Tube services on Monday due to road closures in the Windsor area.
