Passengers from Oxfordshire have had journeys disrupted because of problems with rail links between London and Bristol.

Between midnight and 5am this morning (Monday) engineering work meant trains were not running between Swindon and Didcot and passengers had to use a bus service.

There were also substantially longer journey times for passengers between London and Bristol because of a landslip near Bath.

Last Thursday most direct services between Bristol and Oxford were cancelled because of the landslip. Customers had to catch alternative services and change at Didcot Parkway.

First Great Western director and general manager Elaine Holt said: "It is regrettable that our customers have to face such substantial levels of inconvenience."
