Rail route reopens

THE Cotswold Line rail route between Oxford and Worcester has reopened, after being closed for emergency engineering work this morning.

A broken rail was found at Honeybourne, in Worcestershire, at about 9am and trains from Oxford were turned back at Moreton-in-Marsh, in Gloucestershire, with buses providing connections with Evesham and Worcester.

Due to trains being out of position, passengers are advised to check for the latest information on services on the First Great Western website before starting journeys on the route this afternoon.
