OXFORDSHIRE'S newest railway service got off to a perfect start yesterday with the 8am Wrexham & Shropshire departure from Banbury to Wrexham leaving on time.
The first arrival from north-east Wales, however, due into Banbury en route to London Marylebone at 8.33am, was over half-a-hour late after a technical fault in Shropshire.
A W&S spokesman said: "We apologised to passengers on this service and they were all offered a full refund."
The new service restores a link from Oxfordshire lost in 1967, when British Rail withdrew express services from London on the former Great Western Railway route to Chester.
