Sometime around 1545hrs, a vehicle was struck at a level crossing at Yarnton, near Tackley, which is just to the North of Oxford. All lines are blocked at this location, with ongoing delays as a result.
BTP & NR are in attendance. I have not heard any information on any casualties or the condition of the train & track.
FGW passengers may use XC & LU on reasonable routes, and XC passengers may use LM & Chiltern on reasonable routes.
Update: Two people are injured and were not trapped in the vehicle, according to the local press (Oxford Mail & Oxford Times). The train involved was supposedly a freight service and the incident occurred at around 1539hrs on Sandy Lane crossing.
StreetView seems to show an automatic half barrier crossing at this location. The road seems to have poor sightlines on approach to the crossing.
