Sunday 16 June 2019 is the 175th anniversary of the Didcot to Oxford line. Various local celebrations are mooted, and the original Brunel ticket office at Culham station will be open.
Are any forum members able to advise on the most practicable method of getting some trains to stop at Culham that day, if GWR agree? An additional stop would appear to add 2 minutes to schedules, or maybe more if there are lots of customers unfamiliar with getting on and off trains.
I presume that a special timetable is not on, because Network Rail's timetable planners will have more important things to do?
Could a Very Short Term Timetable (sorry, not sure of correct title) be feasible? If yes, who does what to put it in place?
Or could GWR Control, with Network Rail's agreement, just issue some planned special stop orders?
Or is there another, better, way?
Or is it, in practice, already too late?
