Some trains were re-routed to London Waterloo.
The route later reopened, but disruption was expected to continue until 1pm because trains and crews were out of position.
Transport for London (TfL) was unable to run Elizabeth line trains between Maidenhead and Reading until the signalling issue was fixed.
