Title: Line problem in Radley area causing widespread disruption (28 June 2010) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on June 28, 2010, 07:52:01 From FGW live updates:
Quote Line incident Line problem in the Radley area. Train services between Didcot Parkway and Oxford have been disrupted due to an earlier broken down train in the Radley area. Engineers have worked as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations and delays of up to 30 minutes may still occur. Last Updated: 28/06/2010 07:07 I won't list all the individual services affected, but they include many of those between Paddington and Banbury, Oxford and Great Malvern.

So trains that should have turned round at Oxford didn't, because they could not get there. Hence the reference to both directions.
