Cancellations for both bus and train users

Industrial action on the rail network and service issues on the buses are affecting travel

Bus and train users in our area are struggling to get to their destinations today.   Industrial action on the trains and service issues on the buses have drastically reduced travel options.

The largest strike by rail workers for a generation has resulted in many services being cancelled with the usually busy Banbury train station deserted early this morning.
