Title: Train breakdown causes delays at Oxford - 8 June 2009 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on June 08, 2009, 20:23:49 From The Oxford Times (http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/4426243.Train_breakdown_causes_delays/):
Quote Rail passengers faced delays this evening caused by a broken down freight train at Oxford. Delays of up to 40 minutes are reported by First Great Western between London Paddington and Oxford, and between London Paddington and Moreton-in-Marsh due to the broken down train at Oxford. First Great Western said that trains were unable to divert around the affected train, which is expected to be moved shortly. So far only one train has been cancelled. CrossCountry services are also being affected.
