Description
A safety inspection of the track between West Ruislip and South Ruislip means that trains have to run at a reduced speed on the line towards London Marylebone. As a result, trains running between West Ruislip and London Marylebone may be cancelled or delayed by up to 45 minutes.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
Please note, trains running between Banbury / Oxford and Haddenham & Thame Parkway may continue to be delayed due to an earlier safety inspection of the track.
