Title: Line open on Boxing Day 2013.... Post by: ChrisB on October 24, 2013, 15:33:05 .....between Marylebone & Bicester North only, and between 8am & 8pm only.
Timetable is here (http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk/boxingday) All normal off-peak fares available all weekend available on this day too. Not sure about advance fares, but tickets are available on their booking engine, so go & check if you are interested. I'm not sure Advances are generally available between those stations, so I'm doubtful. But Groupsave definitely is. Title: Re: Line open on Boxing Day 2013....

By only going to Bicester North Network Rail only has to provide one signalman. The ranks are breaking! Title: Re: Line open on Boxing Day 2013.... Post by: ChrisB on October 31, 2013, 10:08:24 Hmmm. I'm hearing that Bicester Village have put the money up & staff were asked to volunteer for what I'm hearing is a rather decent package!

I expect the service to be a big success, and hopefully sooner rather than later the tipping point will be reached where a much more comprehensive and nationwide (to key destinations) service operates on Boxing Day.

Not so I can go shopping, but so I can have the option of escaping the family 24 hours earlier. :P

I'm surprised neither of the Ruislips are getting any service. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
