From what I can work out from RealTimeTrains, a Didcot - Paddington train was terminated in Platform 15. IIRC that train to Gatwick usually comes off the depot into Platform 15, so had to navigate other trains when it was altered into Platform 14 (at Reading).
06:54 Reading to Gatwick Airport due 08:25 is being delayed at Reading.
This is due to congestion.
Not seen this reason before. Where is the congestion; Reading, Guilford, Redhill or Gatwick?
