From GWR this morning -https://www.gwr.com/travel-information/travel-updates/live-network-updates
An issue has arisen with the state of some trees at the side of a cutting between Twyford and Reading where an unstable area of surrounding earth has been observed. Owing to its location it is not an issue that can be easily resolved and until the matter has been addressed two of the four running lines in the area will be taken out of use and the remaining line capacity will not be able to carry the full advertised train service.
The fast lines are closed with all trains using the relief lines. It sounds as if this could take some time to resolve if the cutting needs to be reprofiled as it's deep with potentially a lot of soil to be removed.
It makes a change from broken rails and damage to the overhead cables on this stretch of line!
