Chiltern won't be able to run long trains from Oxford -- I think their

Is there any scope for elongating that in the future?


No. There is a pinchpoint north of Oxford station where the railway
crosses the Sheepwash Channel [where the ex-LNWR line had a
swingbridge over that channel]. Houses have been built on the former
railway land.
