Compounded by disappearing taxis - a colleague who travels from Shipton and fellow passengers were assured a cab was on its way but after 30 minutes' wiating they all gave up and drove into Oxford instead.

Running about 30 mins late as a result too. Not as bad as the 20:20 Paddington-Gt. Malvern which has sat at Moreton for an hour!
