Track fault at Didcot Parkway disrupts trains - 23 October 2025
Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 11:03, 23rd October 2025
 
From the BBC:



Train travellers are facing delays and cancellations while repairs are carried out on the track at Didcot Parkway.

A fault with a rail means trains are being diverted on to a different line through the area.

It means trains between Oxford and Reading/London Paddington will not stop at Didcot Parkway, in either direction and fewer trains will run between Oxford and Didcot in both directions.

Tickets can be used via Reading for those travelling between Didcot Parkway and Oxford. They will also be accepted on CrossCountry services between Oxford and Reading in both directions. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.


Rather predictably, the BBC chose to illustrate their news item with the stock image of a train at ... Bristol Temple Meads.
