Is there room on the route for any extra trains?

Chinnor and Risboro challenging line and after mid August you go into Risboro,friendly people and good value for money. I have done it twice and became volunteer also scenery is lovely.

Good news will have to go up there and have a look at the work its good news something to look forward to.

Another reason they should reopen the alternative main line as recommended many times then a blockade would not be so disruptive.But this an obvious answer that the DFT cannot contemplate due to their blinkered outlookand complete lack of forward thinking (a national traite).
