A BUS became stuck in a village road after being blocked by 'illegally parked vehicles'.
Stagecoach said its 500 service from Banbury to Brackley got trapped in Middleton Cheney at about 11.15am this morning, and was awaiting help from police.
The bus provider warned there could be a knock-on effect for other 500 services travelling the same route, unless the vehicles are moved.
