RAIL passengers in the north of the county are being warned of busy bank holiday services as major works get underway at Birmingham New Street.

Chiltern Railways said whilst services are largely unaffected by the works, the line through Oxford will be the main route for passengers travelling from Birmingham to London this weekend.

It advised Bicester North passengers to use Bicester Village Station and Banbury passengers that extra carriages have been added.

The Oxford to London route is unaffected.
