Rush Hour Trains at: Oxford, CVL, 25/06/21

[@1chish]

Some big money scheduled to be spent at Oxford to create a new island platform (No 5) and replace Botley Road bridge to give a bigger road and pedestrian clearance and add extra track. Interesting to note that while the two Chiltern trains were numbered in in the '168' series the very different cab profiles show the first (168/2) to be from the 170 / Turbostar family and the second (168/0) to be from the earlier 165 / Networker family. The Chiltern 168/3 fleet are actually converted 170 trains. Chiltern is probably one of the very best TOCs around. Innovative and with a great customer focus. What they achieved at Bicester to create the Oxford services was excellent.

[@georgedowns4034]

What's annoying is, they are talking about a direct service to Witney but they should really extend it onto Cheltenham- that would be much needed. Also, the link to East of Oxford is desperately needed...

[@JackJackProductions]

During the morning peak and late afternoon (around 4pm), there is a return stopping shuttle service between Reading and Oxford using a 2 car 165 with it occasionally being operated by a 3 car unit. It is primarily aimed at students who go to school/ college/ university in Reading or Oxford and live near the stations between Reading and Oxford (Tilehurst, Pangbourne, Goring & Streatley, Cholsey, Didcot Parkway, Appleford, Culham, Radley, and Oxford)

I have just finished watching the CML series. Of the stations I have been to on this line, my personal favourite is Leamington Spa, which appears to have hardly changed since my first visit in 63. Excellent series, always love the rush hour trains.

[@aviationtrainsfc1]

Some nice freight variety there, including orange 66415 and maritime 66148

[@Tornado922]

If I had gotten here sooner I would have a lot more freight coming through

800 302 would have run fast from Oxford to Banbury. The following 165 would've stopped at the intermediate stations (Heyford, Tackley, and Kings Sutton)

[@lewishawkins5085]

Yh it probably would how often do Class 800s go to Banbury
