Does RealTimeTrains not give a passing time anywhere heading north?

'Hitting' landslip would possibly be also the land slipping from under/to the side of the rails leaving PC & leading coach to go sideways down the resultant slip, following the earth - not the earth slipping from above down to the track....from the photos, it looks like the former. Edit: to say...

Or it means someone was spreading false news without proof.....again

Why don't people please *read* the thread before posting? I made the same points a few pages ago. Might be NR, or might be other works - both drainage & timber works seemed to be going on prior.

If you read the whole thread, you'll discover that it was derailed, went down an embankment & caught fire. Beware, there is a photo of it alight on page 4.

Yep - and a portaloo by the entrance. Could this be the site of a work area commandeered by the Emergency Services. Unlikely to be able to get a rolling road installed there very quickly? Also, check out the photo on this thread elsewhere of the derailed power car - in the background of that is...

Thanks for clarifying.

They *are* providing - almost twice as many bus services as trains with stanby buses at either end. THe RUG is quite happy with this provision. The morning train is pretty much full - the evening peak tends to split itself across 2 trains, owing to those in education finishing earlier...

That piece is delayed & will form part of the Oxford re-signalling project & electrification. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Firstly, the stations will be grouped in the fares manual so the fare will be same from either station to make inter-station travel possible & legal...

What a load of rubbish! Sorry, but if you've ever travelled in the peaks, you'd know that they are often full & standing!...plus up to a dozen bikes, which is causing a headache re subbing buses with that capacity Also, there are often 50+ from/to Bicester Village in the pm. Might I...

Was nowhere on Chris Aldridge's plan I saw. If there's passive provision going in for anmother through up platform (through the current concourse!), there's no room for that.
