it just might be a way of getting a bit more of an input with regards to
the Oxford-Paddington element.

It might also be worth pointing out that there's another route to Oxford
currently at the planning permission stage, using the line to Bicester then
a new junction joining the Chiltern line to Marylebone:

I don't know the latest timescales on the project, but it's probably a few
years off opening.

It's meant to be opening at the end of 2013, and in the past Chiltern
have had a good record for finishing projects on time.

It's worth noting that many people who live near Oxford drive to
Bicester North and catch the train to Marylebone from there. These
trains should be getting 10 minutes faster from May.
