better with captions, I mean, where are we, how fast are we going, how far to the next station???

what a lovely journey, doing what railways should do, serving local communities and NOT decimating the countryside around Bucks. This is a wonderful alternative to hs2 and simply needs a little upgrade here and there to support the wcml to birmingham, if you want speed, get a planer.

Surprised no mention of stations en route & no stop at Gerrards X,Beaconsfield or H Wycombe.Having lived in Harrow for 27 years & now Rugby for 16 years, I have an ongoing interest in the GC.From Harrow to Marylebone took 12mins on the Chiltern.I love the tunnel that goes in, comes out, just below Finchley Rd Station.I remember Marylebone when it was really run down (before Chiltern took over) with the shabby DMU,s which were the last units running from Rugby to Nottingham before final GC closure in 1969.

The Marylebone-Oxford express doesn't stop at any of those stations. It's trying to compete with GWR on a fast Oxford-London express service.

Up/down tracks take separate routes (max 1/4 mile apart) between Saunderton and Princes Risborough. GWR single line took the down line that we are on; this had a significant gradient and sharp curve, so when line was doubled, the up line was built on a flatter, straighter route to avoid heavily-laden coal trains needing to be more powerful just for that gradient; empty coal wagons (lighter train!) on return journey could take the down route with a gradient. The line from Oxford to Bicester Town was closed in 1960s (Beeching!), opened as single-track in 1980s and then upgraded to dual-track when Gavrey curve was built and trains began from Oxford to London Marylebone to provide additional capacity in addition to existing Oxford to London Paddington trains.
