Do-able in a day or not?

[Gathursty]

Is the following do-able on 2nd January assuming I'm starting off on foot in the high street in Bicester at about 9am?

Bicester North - London Marylebone
London Marylebone - Oxford/Banbury (first train out)
Oxford/Banbury - Bicester N/V
Bicester N/V - Banbury/Oxford - Bicester

*I could switch the first train out of Bicester if it helps get around time restrictions on trains heading into London.

Drive to Reading
Reading - Hayes & Harlington
Hayes & Harlington - Windsor & Eton Central
W&E Central - Marlow
Marlow - Henley on Thames (bus/taxi?)
Henley - Oxford
Oxford - North Camp
North Camp - Swindon
Swindon - Reading
