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

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?).

Doesn't appear so.

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

Will there be any in-person events taking place?

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!

Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) 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.
