That's the one.
Specifically 1H71 17:36 Stratford-upon-Avon to London Marylebone, calling at Stratford Parkway.
(The other two direct Chiltern trains also call at Haddenham & Thame Parkway and/or Warwick Parkway)

I've done that service from Leamington Spa to London. Very bad choice as it was an overcrowded 165.
