Some of the information appears to be correct.  The train left Oxford 11 minutes late and was 20 minutes late at Moreton-in-Marsh, so it probably was 15 minutes late at Charlbury and the train did leave London Paddington on time.  The rest of the message is a mystery!

Additional Information:
Owing to IT issues PLEASE IGNORE the narrative paragraphs above in respect of calling points for this train. The stations and times are correctly shown below in the 'Show Calling Stations' section.

I think we have a confused IT system rather than confused trains

Just goes to show too much reliance on computers to provide travel info and not enough human input.

Surely that is showing there is a closure of the ticket office, but will be open from 13/12 09:30 ?

Automated announcements are a nightmare at best when things go wrong, at worst a nightmare. See a previous post I sent regarding a shambles at Kingham a few months back. Can't adjust to changing circumstances
