Ever wondered how we could fund a rail link from Witney to Oxford? This short introduces you to the concept. Watch the long version in our YT channel @TheOxfordMail@BBCOxford@witneygazette
@chiltrain @CustomersofCR @chilternrailway We are working on it... But of course everything is on ice right now though that obsolete rolling stock should have been replaced a while ago. Nevertheless Chiltern is a shadow of the company it was when it was first given that franchise.
@chilternrailway one of the busiest Saturdays of the year and you have a two car service from Oxford to London with passengers standing and all your ticket machines are down too...
Congrats to OCC funding this after DfT's RYR Ideas Fund didn't. Backed by Witney Oxford Transport Group + Railfuture: https://t.co/DO74DX89sI
This way to grow rail travel markets in post-pandemic era, re-connecting population clusters and supporting sustainable economic growth.
@WitneyOxTransp out touring the route with Mike Smith & David Northey of Network Rail and Roger Blake of Railfuture. Great day. Huge thanks for all the help and advice. Feasibility study out end of March!
