Thanks very much everyone. Now I know: it was a shopping jaunt!

These huge malls must be the impetus behind the track work and ostentatious station, for a village.


"village" is a misnomer for both Bicester and the shopping mall.
Bicester population is over 32,000 and there is nothing remotely like
a rural village at the shopping mall!. The station was named Bicestsr
Town and was nothing more than a platform and a bus shelter with a
rush-hour service to Oxford. Shoppers from London used to go to
Bicester North where they would find a dedicated bus to and from the
shopping mall.
