Originally planned for April, work on Phase 1 of the Oxford Corridor Enhancements, will see Didcot to Oxford closed from 22nd-31st July so works on the revised track and signalling south of the station can be undertaken:

At least the Chiltern service to Marylebone is up and running unlike during last years blockade.

Interesting that, as Cotswold Line shuttles are running to/from Oxford!

So work must be taking place north of that junction & Aynho Junction. I wonder where?
