The Oxford to London Paddington line suffered the equivalent of more than one signal problem every day last year.

New figures obtained by BBC Radio Oxford through a Freedom of Information request reveal 411 signalling problems during the 2014/15 financial year.

They also show a 22% increase in faults from 2012/13, which has drawn criticism from commuters faced with rising prices.
