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.

Its London Marylebone services to and from Oxford station were cancelled, and instead started and ended at Oxford Parkway.
