I read the interesting article about the possible reinstating of passenger services on the rail link to Littlemore and Cowley, which is an excellent idea, but why stop at Cowley?

The existing track almost reaches Horspath, and if the short tunnel was reopened and the track relayed, could it not be extended to terminate in Wheatley?

Surely this would make sense? New stations at Horspath and Wheatley would increase the usability of the line even more.
