Platform 4 was out of action for about 1 hour meaning all GWR/XC services had to use Platform 3 and Platform 3 was also out of action for a period of time.

Access to the platforms was also stopped for a while due to overcrowding on the platforms and of course it had to happen when there was an Open Day at the University of Oxford.
