I wonder what the logic was for retaining the Charlbury and Evesham stops whilst missing out some more used intermediate stations between Oxford and Worcester.

Well, that was entertaining. Held at Oxford platform 4 for half an hour while a supposed signal failure at Wolvercot Junction was sorted out, only for the train crew to be told belatedly that the problem was actually at Norton Junction. Not Wolvercot.

We were on the 2052 (or the 2144 from Oxford). Passengers for beyond Moreton were told to de-train at Oxford for road transport to be arranged. I strongly suspect it would have been quicker for them to just wait for the following train!
