Written by GWR wanted to update you following a landslip next to the railway between Oxford and Hanborough that occurred on Friday evening, meaning that section of line is currently closed and is likely to be closed until the weekend.
A landslip near Yarnton happened on the line, as well as parts of Cassington Road bridge collapsing meaning the line has been blocked. Network Rail engineers are onsite investigating the causes and working on a solution to safely reopen the railway and the road bridge as soon as possible, however due to the complexities it is likely to closed until the weekend.
The line between Oxford and Moreton-in-Marsh remains closed today. They have rail replacement buses in place between Moreton-in-Marsh and Oxford, and a shuttle rail service between Moreton-in-Marsh and Worcester. GWR Worcester-London services will run on a diversionary route via Swindon and we also have ticket acceptance in place with Chiltern, CrossCountry, Avanti West Coast and West Midlands Trains.
