Work was due to begin in January, with a 12-month closure of Botley Road planned.

The redevelopment of Oxford railway station has been delayed because Network Rail is not ready to start work.

The station is undergoing the £161m scheme to cope with an expected increase in services and passengers. A new entrance will be built, along with a new platform, and Botley Road bridge will also be replaced.Network Rail said: "Replacing the bridge over Botley Road to facilitate a new platform, western entrance and road improvements is an incredibly complex project, which needs to be completed by the end of 2024 in time for the start of East West Rail services.

"We are working with partners to refine our plans for the delivery of the works to enhance the station and do not now need to start the full closure of Botley Road in January.Image source,Oxfordshire County Council said due to the "scale and nature of the works on the highway", including the need to divert water, gas and electricity, the "impact on Botley Road will be significant".

"Once any new arrangements have been confirmed, we will work with Network Rail and other partners to make sure the details are communicated clearly and accurately to everyone who might be affected."Follow BBC South on
