Although the major rebuilding of the Oxford to Bicester line was completed in October 2015, the section from the newly built Oxford Parkway station to Oxford North Junction was not finished at the same time, with the result that the MoD trains to Bicester, and the stone trains to Oxford Banbury Road have to travel via the Chiltern Line, accessing the Oxford route via the new chord at Gavray Junction. 66047 emerges from Brill Tunnel on 19 January 2016 with the 6V01 11:04 Oxford Banbury Road to Acton stone empties. |
