CHILTERN Railways is currently accepting First Great Western Tickets for journeys on its services from London Marylebone to Banbury.

This is due First Great Western services being heavily delayed between London Paddington and Banbury due to signalling problems.

Delays are expected to continue until 3.30pm.

Chiltern Railways also said this morning it was experiencing five-minute delays to northbound services at Bicester North, due to problems with lineside equipment.
