Chiltern Railways is introducing a new timetable from Sunday in response to the next phase of the Government’s roadmap for the easing of lockdown in England.

The train operator has been running a reduced timetable since last March while providing train services for key workers.

The new timetable will increase capacity and improve connectivity on weekend trains between London Marylebone and Oxford.

On Saturdays capacity will increase by 11 per cent between Marylebone and Oxford and by 13 per cent on Sundays.

All of the Oxford services will be calling at Oxford Parkway, Bicester Village, Haddenham and Thame Parkway, Princes Risborough, High Wycombe and Gerrards Cross.

Weekday services will remain largely unchanged.

Off-peak from Monday to Friday there will be, on average, two trains an hour from London Marylebone to Oxford and Birmingham.

Customers are advised to travel during quieter times if possible; go online or download the Chiltern app to access the latest information and book tickets; use contactless payments; socially distance from staff and other passengers and wear face coverings in stations and onboard.
