Week-long bridge replacement works disrupts trains

Some train services travelling through Oxford are set to be affected by work to install a new railway bridge near the city's station.

The work will see rail replacement services in place between Didcot Parkway and Oxford, and between Banbury and Oxford/Didcot Parkway for a week from Sunday.

Footpath access from the Botley Road into the city centre will also be affected. The current walkway, which passes under the bridge will be closed, with pedestrians needing to follow a new route through the train station.
