National Rail reports that a fault with the system at Taplow, between Reading and London, means trains have to run at reduced speed towards the capital.

According to National Rail: "As a result, Elizabeth line trains may be cancelled or delayed by up to 15 minutes. Disruption is expected until 11am."

National Rail advises passengers to use its journey planner.

It adds: "You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim."
