Passengers from north and east Oxford, Kidlington, Yarnton, Woodstock and Witney will have easy access to a mainline rail service at Oxford Parkway station, without having to drive through the congested city centre.
Commuters from Bicester to Oxford will have a fast and frequent rail alternative to the crowded A34, whilst the Bicester Village shopping centre will have a direct rail service from the capital, taking many cars off the M40. Oxford will also gain a rail link to High Wycombe, for the first time in over 40 years, and connections to Wembley Stadium.
