Some bus routes have been disrupted in South Oxfordshire causing diversions and delays.

Delays of 15 minutes are expected due to the diversions and increased congestion.

It is not known why the routes have been disrupted.

In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Thames Travel said: "Due to disruption on our X32 and ST1 routes, all services will divert via Drayton in the direction of Harwell Campus, the only stop affected will be the Milton Heights Stop for the ST1 service.

"We are expecting delays of 15 minutes due to the diversion and increased congestion."

Thames Travel is based in Didcot.

They employ about 120 staff and maintain a fleet of 70 buses and are part of GoAhead Group and Oxford Bus Company.

OPINION - Keir Starmer crossed a big line when he called Rishi Sunak a liar — he shouldn't have done it
Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.

Jay Slater: Spanish authorities remain silent on missing teen while online conspiracies reach fever pitch
What was a sprawling operation last week now feels more focused, with a cluster of officers from the Civil Guard telling me they were looking at a particular ravine with a nearby water source. Gesturing to the other side of the uneven terrain, one explained how they needed special equipment to access an area that is difficult to traverse on foot. The changeable conditions we've seen in the Rural de Teno national park over the past week have included not just the high temperatures you'd expect in Tenerife, but also cloud cover, high winds and rain.
