Alternative might-have-beens would have been to run Paddington to Oxford
via Princes Risborough and Thame (lifted between Thame and Cowley), or
via Princes Risborough, Aylesbury and Verney Junction (lifted between
Quainton Road, Verney Junction and Claydon), or via Ashendon, Grendon
Underwood, Calvery, and Claydon LNE Junction (reverse) (lifted between
Ashendon and Grendon Underwood, and very slow from there to Bicester)

If we're going down that road, they could have diverted
Cheltenham/Worcester trains via the M&SWJR (Andover to Andoversford) up
until 1961.
