    It was late because a freight train had failed in its path earlier - not much FGW could have done about that. Its funny that when a train is an hour late it hits the news about the delays to rail travellers. The sad accident on the M40 today closed the mortorway for 10 hours but not a mention about the much longer delays to road users.
    whilst there is not much to be done about a failure, that doesn't mean you don't stop to pick passengers up! agreed about the M40 incident, it was very sad, but there are alternative routes around road closures. not many diversions on a railway."

West Oxfordshire rail passengers left stranded

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.
