Is this last night's 1706 from Great Malvern? If so, I saw it terminate at Oxford so when did it set off towards Tilehurst?

Yes , it ran ECS^▸ to Old Oak from Oxford at 2115.

Interesting I didn't think ATP^▸ was installed at Oxford.

It isn't, it was trainborne equipment malfunction.

Got a feeling ATP^▸ is London - Bristol TM^‡/Bristol Parkway only?

Correct. Though only on main lines. The only relief lines with it fitted are Paddington-Airport Junction, and (rather curiously) platform 8 at Reading. As mentioned though, the trainborne equipment is on at all times - albeit in a passive state in non ATP areas - and can still malfunction on non-ATP routes and cause problems, though this is very rare.
