Police were called to Banbury Railway Station twice on Saturday after a high demand for cabs to the Gatecrasher Festival in Westbury caused tempers to flare.

It's maybe worth mentioning that this festival took place at an Aerodrome in Westbury close to Brackley in Northamptonshire, rather than in the better-known rail junction of Westbury in Wiltshire - just in case anyone else was wondering why people would be jumping into a taxi some 60 miles away at Banbury!
