A SIGNAL fault caused all trains between Oxford and Parkway railway stations to be cancelled.
No trains could run on the line in either direction, Chiltern Railways reported at 3.30pm this afternoon.
Due to the current signal fault we are not able to run services into or out of Oxford Station, we are starting and terminating at Oxford Parkway. We do currently have ticket acceptance on the 500 bus between these stations.
