Default Chiltern franchise aspirations

When this topic came up on an earlier thread I suggested that if
Chiltern were to build a North Oxford Parkway station on the Bicester
line, it might prove attractive to residents of Witney, Woodstock,
Kidlington and surrounding areas. They could get a train to London
without having to negotiate Oxford's traffic and the door-to-door
journey time might be competative.


They certainly could. It can take well over half-an-hour to get to
Oxford Station from Kidlington in the rush hour, if you have to park a
car, and there is now no direct bus service to the station.

And wouldn't there be an existing Park and Ride location by the
Bicester railway line?
