If the plans to reopen Kidlington station had to fruition, this unit would be slowing down to stop there as part of the 'Oxford Canal Line' local service. As it hasn't been reopened, 165121 is in fact heading south past Thrupp at the full line speed of 90mph on 7 March 2011 with the 2L47 15:07 Banbury to Oxford First Great Western service.
