• Train time is an estimate (normal ~1h10–15 fastest GWR service), not a live timetable — check gwr.com for the actual departure nearest 17:15–17:25 and shift the whole chain to match.
• gwr/engineering-2026 only has confirmed disruption data through 7 Aug; 13 Aug (week 19) is undocumented. Weeks 14–18 were mostly major disruption, so check GWR + TfL status before leaving the building — per the decision rule in john/travel/paddington-disruption. If Paddington–Reading is disrupted, use the Jubilee → Waterloo → SWR → Reading contingency instead.
