    What train did I see? (Class 66 + tanker wagons)

    I hope the original poster doesn't mind me posing another 'What is it?' question, but the topic thread seemed so apposite. My daughter spotted a train near Tackley earlier today. I couldn't for the life of me work out what it was from her description (a dark green diesel, coaches in an odd...

    Chiltern running 3 cars during the peak rush hour.

    I've travelled a few times recently from OXP, at different times of the day and week. It's always 165s, with additional stops taking about 1h20m to get to MYB. Poor show!

    GWR HST's to Marylebone 27th December

    Thank you NSEFAN. I didn't think to check RTT - I didn't appreciate the provisional timings are there already.

    GWR HST's to Marylebone 27th December

    Is it definite that the Marylebone services will run via Bicester Village and not via Banbury? I know it makes better sense but am not sure if the routing has been confirmed. Thanks in advance.

    King's Cross or Liverpool Street to Cambridge

    Hi, I'm travelling tomorrow from OXP to CBG and am unsure whether both King's Cross and Liverpool Street are valid 'via London' routes. I am guessing they are but if anyone can confirm either way that would be much appreciated. Michael Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

    Last Chance To Take Photos from Trains.

    Haven't Chiltern Mk3s all got refitted doors with sealed/non-drop windows?

    Chiltern Oxford Link completed

    A chap I spoke to on the first Sunday service said he knew of someone commuting by car from Cheltenham to Oxford Parkway to the catch the train to Marylebone - faster, he reckoned, than getting the train all the way to Cheltenham to Paddington. Some catchment area! Sent from my SM-T520 using...

    Chiltern Oxford Link completed

    On the 'flagship' 7.20 from Oxford this morning, with 68011 doing the honours at the back. The service was branded 'The Oxford Flyer' on the passenger information displays at Oxford. The service was lightly loaded leaving Oxford, with a posse of Chiltern staff on board giving everyone a free...
