Trains through Oxfordshire delayed after bad weather and signalling problems
FIRST Great Western train services have returned to normal following delays caused by bad weather and technical faults this morning.
Services running through Oxford and Didcot Parkway were delayed up to 15 minutes due to signalling problems.
First Great Western said flash flooding closed the line between Chippenham and Bath Spa, blocking all lines.
The company said a lightning strike, damaging equipment between Melksham and Chippenham, caused further delays.
