Also most (all?) Intercity trains from Paddington to the West were
cancelled. Again rebooking is likely to be an issue since all
subsequent trains are likely to be fully booked.

When was the last time you travelled by IC train in the UK?

Clue: the UK does not operate compulsory reservations.

True, but there is typically only one unbooked carriage, into which
the displaced passengers from several other trains are unlikely to
fit.

FSVO "unbooked". The no-show rate can be phenomenal.
