Sunday 15th October 2023:

An amended timetable will be in operation, in respect of the following:

  • Planned MAJOR engineering works at multiple locations.

The railway is CLOSED at several locations, as follows:

  • Banbury - Dorridge all day.
  • Bicester Village - Oxford all day.
  • Haddenham & Thame Parkway and Bicester until approximately 09.30.

A heavily-amended timetable will operate over most of the Chiltern Railways route. Use of rail replacement buses for all or part of journeys to/from Birmingham, Stratford Upon Avon and Oxford will be necessary. Journey times will be considerably longer than usual on these routes.

Additionally, the railway is CLOSED between Princes Risborough and Aylesbury for 10 weeks between 19th August and 29th October inclusive. This is to facilitate HS2 civil engineering works including construction of a new bridge to carry the Chiltern line over the HS2 line.

During this period, rail replacement buses will operate as follows:

  • Princes Risborough - Monks Risborough - Little Kimble - Aylesbury.

Buses will connect with trains at Princes Risborough.
