Realtime trains has no services listed at Appleford for the first couple of Sundays after the timetable change. Buses would show on there as long as they've been entered into the Integrated Train Planning System. Also, no journey is found on the NRE^‡ website. I think the further erosion of Appleford's service is continuing with the next timetable change.

Makes a change from the heyday of its service interval that it achieved in January this year: a level I was compelled to report to the Railway Magazine ...

Our winter storms appear to have a silver lining for some communities. Appleford, a sleepy village on the Great Western Oxford-Didcot line today (8/1/14) was served by 72 stopping services on the flood shuttle between the two towns. I doubt that Appleford, that normally receives an offering of only ten stopping trains each way per day, has ever seen this level of service. Even in its earlier days, the GWR^▸ delegated its ticket sales on this quiet station to the local Post Office!
