Two specials are running at the moment from Victoria to Charlbury, both one way only, one set started at Crewe depot this morning and will head back empty there tonight whilst the other started at Stewart's Lane Depot and also heads back empty tonight (via a reversal at Worcester)

Any info on these services?

Special trains organised by Dior taking people to Blenheim Palace for a function. A LARGE fleet of black limos in Charlbury to take visitors to the Palace causing mayhem in Charlbury on the narrow roads and one way streets.
