A rail line has reopened following a landslip.

Part of the track bed near Bicester North station in Oxfordshire had subsided after a landslip caused by heavy rainfall.

No trains were able to run between London Marylebone and Oxford, while a reduced service operated between the capital and Birmingham Moor Street.

Chiltern Railways confirmed on Tuesday that all services have now resumed for the first time since Thursday.
