Nothing able to move towards Paddington atm between Hayes and Harlington and Paddington due to a combination of engineering works and a broken down train (think it's 621Z that has broken down - http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/B33940/2017/12/03/advanced).

A broken down freight train between Hayes & Harlington and London Paddington means the line towards London is currently blocked.
Planned improvement work between Reading and London Paddington means a reduced number of lines are available today. As the freight train is blocking the only available track in to London, trains are expected to be severely disrupted until the freight train has been moved.
As a result, your journey may be disrupted by up to 90 minutes.
Customers are advised to travel only where absolutely necessary and alternative travel arrangements should be made where possible. Tickets dated for travel today will be valid tomorrow.
There is no firm estimate yet of how long disruption will last but it is likely to continue until at least 18:30.
Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect customers may use London Underground services on all reasonable routes to and from Heathrow Airport.
If you are travelling to and from Heathrow Airport, please allow for extra time in your journey.
Great Western Railway customers may use:
- London Underground on any reasonable route
- South Western Railway on any reasonable route
- London Buses on any reasonable routes
- Chiltern Railways between Oxford / Banbury and London Marylebone
