TRAINS between London and Bicester will be cancelled this weekend due to engineering works.

Chiltern Railways said journey times may take longer than usual and passengers may have to change trains to reach their destination.

The line will be closed between Wembley and Bicester on both days.

Passengers travelling between Marylebone, Bicester Village, Oxford, Banbury and stations to Birmingham should travel via Aylesbury Vale Parkway and get a rail replacement bus service to Bicester North or Bicester Village to continue their journey.

The work forms part of Britain’s Railway Upgrade Plan which includes Network Rail track improvement.

It has closed sections of the line on every weekend throughout August.
