There are severe delays to Oxfordshire train services after all lines in Bicester were blocked this morning.
A spokesperson for Chiltern Railways on Wednesday morning said: “Due to engineering works not being finished on time at Bicester North all lines are blocked.
“Train services running through this station may be cancelled or delayed by up to 20 minutes.”
A later update was then posted at 7am informing customers that lines had reopened but delays of up to 20 minutes would remain.
