Train lines have been closed between Reading and London Paddington due to a landslip and an unsafe tree.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said two of the four lines between Twyford and Reading were not available.

Where possible, GWR customers can use their tickets on Elizabeth Line, South Western Railway and London Underground services.

The train operator warned disruption was expected "until the end of the day" and apologised for any journey delays.
