The working hours on the Botley Road site will increase to 24/7 to make up for lost time after the discovery of an historic arch forced works to stop.

Network Rail has revealed that 24/7 working hours will kick in from September 2 (Saturday) after work was forced to temporarily stop in June.

The closure of Botley Road, which first started on April 11, is expected to last until October, and was put in place so an £161 million upgrade of Oxford^[1] station can take place.
