Welcome!

Welcome to Cotswold Line - Oxford - Banbury Trainspotting.

This is a blog for trainspotters in the Cotswold Line/Oxford/Banbury area. Below is a full list of all of the lines which this blog covers, along with the sections of the lines covered specifically.

Cotswold Line

(Oxford - Hereford)

Cherwell Valley Line

(Didcot - Oxford - Banbury)

Chiltern Mainline

(Bicester North - Warwick)

This blog will focus on all services running along these lines, but it was originally designed to provide freight service information. 

When "gen" on certain services is provided, the source for this information will be given. Please note, however, that the information provided may not always be 100% perfect and therefore it should always be taken as a guide and if it is proven to be true then that is a bonus.

Information for services which have run in the past will also be given.
