Services suspended as trees fall on the permanent way

3/12/2015

0 Comments

 
On the 3rd of December 2015, the neighbour's adjacent 200+ year old gum tree dropped an extremely large limb on the train shed causing extensive damage to one side. This led to a team of 4 tree surgeons coming in to remove the debris off the shed before tarpaulins could be used to cover up the holes and prevent further damage to the railway. Services are suspended until further notice. Banbury Connections apologises for the inconvenience to passengers.
