Warning of continuing disruption on Oxford line

A weak bridge which has blocked the railway between Didcot Parkway and Oxford is likely to remain closed for at least two or three weeks, GWR has warned, which means there can be no through services between Didcot and Oxford over the Easter weekend. A shuttle train service is running between Didcot Parkway, Appleford and Culham, and also between Radley and Oxford. Trains are continuing to run mainly as usual on the North Cotswolds Line from Hereford and Worcester to Oxford, but CrossCountry passengers using the Bournemouth to Birmingham and Manchester route must change to a replacement bus between Didcot Parkway and Oxford.
