Hello Muhiddin,
When a train is late we can say either that the train is delayed or that the passengers have been delayed. If I phone my friend to tell them I'm going to be late, for example, the I might say 'I've been delayed'.

Hello fahri,
That makes sense to me, and it's important to remember that English is spoken slightly differently in different places around the world.
I would probably say 'mind your step' instead of 'step carefully', but I think it's clear enough, though it is slightly unnatural to my ears.
All the best,

Thus, a passenger to Oxford will be delayed.
