Thanks so much, Horizon22. The details she was insistent on turned out to be somewhat unreliable! I will ask her to pay closer attention in future 1634313316 Thanks - appreciate the quick info. 1634313397 Yes indeed, confirmed by other posts (although she was quite sure the coaches were a...

I hope the original poster doesn't mind me posing another 'What is it?' question, but the topic thread seemed so apposite. My daughter spotted a train near Tackley earlier today. I couldn't for the life of me work out what it was from her description (a dark green diesel, coaches in an odd...

Thanks for the information.

My apologies for using codes rather than station names. Now corrected!

Can anyone shed light on the disruption caused (I think) by a signal failure at Princes Risborough today? Pretty severe, including: 2A25 1159 Marylebone-Aylesbury arrived 272 late 1Y32 1111 Oxford-Marylebone 279 late at the time of writing 1R26 1142 Marylebone-Birmingham Moor St terminated at...

I've travelled a few times recently from OXP, at different times of the day and week. It's always 165s, with additional stops taking about 1h20m to get to MYB. Poor show!

Sorry - I misunderstood 'STP'. I understand now...

Thank you NSEFAN. I didn't think to check RTT - I didn't appreciate the provisional timings are there already.

Is it definite that the Marylebone services will run via Bicester Village and not via Banbury? I know it makes better sense but am not sure if the routing has been confirmed. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm travelling tomorrow from OXP to CBG and am unsure whether both King's Cross and Liverpool Street are valid 'via London' routes. I am guessing they are but if anyone can confirm either way that would be much appreciated. Michael Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Haven't Chiltern Mk3s all got refitted doors with sealed/non-drop windows?

Also King's Cross, and doubtless others. Sent from my SM-T520 using Tapatalk

A chap I spoke to on the first Sunday service said he knew of someone commuting by car from Cheltenham to Oxford Parkway to the catch the train to Marylebone - faster, he reckoned, than getting the train all the way to Cheltenham to Paddington. Some catchment area! Sent from my SM-T520 using...

On the 'flagship' 7.20 from Oxford this morning, with 68011 doing the honours at the back. The service was branded 'The Oxford Flyer' on the passenger information displays at Oxford. The service was lightly loaded leaving Oxford, with a posse of Chiltern staff on board giving everyone a free...

A few photos here: https://goo.gl/photos/HHVBXYW8xvvnzux9A And a video from Oxford Parkway to Oxford, showing some of the infrastructure on the section, e.g. soundproof fencing at Wolvercote, Oxford North Junction, approach to new platforms (apologies for the mediocre quality)...

I was on the 7.43 and took it as far as Haddenham, where I changed for the first train back to Oxford (running five minutes late). Good turnout by Chiltern staff and other interested parties, and a real sense of occasion (including spontaneous applause as we departed platform 1 at Oxford). I'll...

Yes, exactly like that. As here (taken same day): https://youtu.be/DWHkHUUSCAY

Ah yes, I've just found out about this: http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/14954327.City_council_bosses_assure_North_Oxford_residents_they_are_standing_up_to_Network_Rail_as_the_firm_gets_set_to_breach_planning/ Hoping that Sunday's 'soft' launch will still go ahead - the equivalent for the...

Sorry, I should have added some figure legends to help explain, and probably also posted the pictures In a logical order! So here are some notes: Photos 1 and 3 are looking in the down direction, taken from what is now platform 2, roughly where the buffer stop used to be on what was former...
