Well, for a change NR» (Network Rail - home page) has planned ahead and the signalling design and Phase 1 site installation has allowed for that eventuality.

Passengers on the 15:22 Paddington to Great Malvern got to experience the benefits of the resignalling this afternoon.

As a result of a fault at the north end of Oxford station, the 15:22 was diverted onto platform 3, and then ran down to Wolvercote Junction on the up main (or whatever the correct terminology is!). Meanwhile, the 15:22 WOS» (Worcester Shrub Hill - next trains):PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) ran towards Oxford on the up relief.

However, putting the Great Malvern train onto platform 3 at roughly the time the Paddington service was due did have an unfortunate but predictable consequence - there was an announcement on the 15:22 PAD:GMV advising passengers who thought they were on the Paddington train to change at Hanborough!

[edit to change one word]

Hello,

I Cannot wait to visit Oxford to see what they have done. My father was involved in the resignalling of oxford in 1973.
