More trains for Banbury to Oxford:

[whole diary]

[Super Sprinter 150]

At the moment intemidiate station between Oxford and Banbury:
Tackley > Heyford > Kings Sutton
are getting a train every two hours. There is one train operating only and the whole journey takes less than half and hour.
To incourgae more people to travel in and fro the intimediate stations, there needs to be a more frequent service.

a) Contrary to your assertion, there aren't many spare 165s around and the fleet is fully utilized during morning and afternoon peaks.
b) Tackley and Heyford are pretty small places and unlikely to generate a great deal of traffic
c) King's Sutton is already served by Chiltern between Banbury and Marylebone
d) I suspect the existing two-hourly service runs at a heavy loss in the first place

All of which makes me think that this idea has absolutely no chance of flying whatsoever. Sorry.

WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS?

I think you ought to stop shouting. It might help if you were able to spell 'intermediate', 'encourage' and 'because'.

I also think you should try to get a grip on reality, but I suspect that might be a step too far...

No grip on reality.....

There's a very active user group for that part of the Cherwell Valley which you'd have discovered as we're listed on the FGW^▸ (First Great Western) website. It has done a lot of research on passenger counts / numbers and two-hourly is about right commercially. Off-peak fares have even been negituated on the last peak train from the Valley stations too in recognition of the poor service.

Other than slightly more suitable counter-peak timings, there isn't much more the user group can realistically achieve.

Of course, if money were mo object, XC^▸ (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) services wouldn't run every 30 minutes and freight paths would be all at night, thus allowing a 3-times an hour service so no one would need to use their car to reach Oxford or Banbury. But I've just awoken & I think you need to too.

the operator would operate this frequency if it was a viable possibility, profit is the aim of business and if there was a profitable opportunity the business would operate it,

I've read each of your threads since you've joined up, and each of your ideas are ludicrous, and lack research or knowledge into the area,

your other thread about 6 changes to get from dover to penzance, it is easily conducted with 1 tube interchange,
