I'm sure I read something on Network Rail a couple of years ago that FGW wanted to improve services to Banbury. I seem to believe that Chiltern objected blaming the lack of operational flexibility at Banbury itself.
Now that the re-signalling and revised layout is coming to fruition at Banbury, I wonder if FGW will indeed put in any plans to improve services to Banbury, and what this will mean? For example, are we talking more class 165s for the local stations between Banbury and Oxford, or more longer distance trains into Paddington (perhaps as a competitor to Chiltern following their decision to operate from Marylebone to Oxford)?
