At 10:56, RTT^» (Real Time Trains - website) is showing

1W15 07:36 Paddington - Great Malvern left Hanborough at 0901¾ but has yet to arrive at Charlbury.

1P30 08:13 Foregate Street - Paddington stationary at Charlbury since 09:15.

I think 1W15 was the train involved, just outside Charlbury.

It was cleared around 1130 but then a track inspection was required, causing further delays

Looking at RTT^» (Real Time Trains - website), the "train in front of this one" looks to have been the stock for the now-cancelled 1P20 08:15 from Shrub Hill to Paddington. The stock is now on its way to Paddington as empty stock, via Stroud.

Meanwhile, a cosy Turbo:

08:15 Worcester Shrub Hill to London Paddington due 10:23 has been reinstated.
It will be started from Oxford.
This is due to a fault on this train.
Will be formed of 2 coaches instead of 5. First class not available. Catering is not available. There are no reservations on this service.
