Hello!

I've been lurking for a while and have finally started posted so I figured an introduction was necessary.

I work and live in Swindon and the location of the office takes me through the station everyday with the help of a gate pass from work.  Smiley

I occasionally travel from Swindon to Oxford and Padd. Would be nice to have a direct Swindon to Oxford service but hey ho.

I'll repeat my welcome that was made out on the forum. Welcome tomlane!  Smiley

I don't think you are alone in wishing there was a direct rail service from Swindon to Oxford. Or indeed one from points further west to Oxford.

Plymouth to Great Yarmouth, via Tavistock, Exeter, Yeovil, Westbury, Swindon, Oxford, Bedford, Sandy, Cambridge and Norwich; calling at intermediate stations which serve populations of 5,000 or more, Parkway railheads and key junctions.  Grin
