Oxfordshire County Council (OCC▸ (Oxfordshire County Council)) have opened a consultation on their OxRAIL 2040 plan.

The plan is available here: https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/44224/widgets/132601/documents/90730

and the consultation to respond is here: https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/oxrail-2040

It's open until Oct 1st.

Thought this would be of interest here.

With thanks for your post, oxviem, I have added OCC▸ (Oxfordshire County Council) to our abbreviations page.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Thanks for that Oxviem. I have responded accordingly, suggesting that it would be better to have such a plan covering the wider Thames Valley. Thames Metro now!

Doesn't appear so.

And it's an Oxfordshire plan, not a wider Thames Valley plan.

There was a presentation in Oxfordshire County Hall, last night. Organised by County and Railfuture /user groups.
It was very positive, and received universal support, great thanks to all the hard work of those , both officers and members who put such hard work in. If only we had such a positive attitude in the 1960s.
Questions involved Witney /Carterton , bus links and pedestrian access.
It was clear to all the boxes have been ticked, we just need a long term push to West Oxfordshire ( and completion of Oxford Station upgrade 2029?).

It'll be very interesting to see which of their projects manage to attract funding over the period.
