COMMUTERS on the Cotswold Line were left without a train into Oxford for more than two hours yesterday after a delayed service ran non-stop from Worcester to Oxford to make up time.
The 6.43am Cathedrals Express from Hereford to London was 70 minutes late and passed straight through stations including Kingham and Hanborough.
Network Rail spokesman Kevin Groves said the decision was taken to get the train to London as soon as possible to help minimise disruption to other services throughout the day.
