Floods have hit Oxfordshire again leaving a road unusable with a diversion route via the A34.

The country was struck by severe flooding throughout last week after heavy rainfall occurred for continuous days.

Buses and trains were cancelled as emergency closures were imposed by schools as Oxfordshire battled the deluge.

Now, following several yellow and amber weather alerts from the Met Office, a part of Oxford has flooded again.

The floods left access between Ambrosden and Barton unusable and thus enforced bus services to take a diversion via the A34 on Thursday.

 A spokesperson for Stagecoach Oxfordshire on Thursday morning said: “Service Update: H5 > Due to flooding the H5 is still unable to service between Ambrosden and Barton in either direction.

“H5 is on diversion from Ambrosden to Barton via the A34, Water Eaton & A40 & Headington to Ambrosen on the reverse diversion.

“Until at least Friday, October 4.”
