Oh, right. That’s good news then. It must be an additional building or a modification of the old shelter though as the new shelter is definitely just a shelter and down towards the London end of the platform.

Looks like they’ve just started on the foundations for the combined ticket office and waiting area at Hanborough. |

The building is now in situ at Hanborough. Yesterday, as I got off the 15:22 PAD» :GMV, there were just foundations but overnight the unit has been put in place. |

So it looks like an end of April target to get all the platform extensions open on the Cotswold Line, rather than the original end of March target. Let’s hope it doesn’t slip any further than that.

Well, it didn’t happen in April, but a date of Monday 20th May has now been announced, so not long to wait, and in time for the busy summer season thankfully. |

Well, the full platform was certainly in operation at Hanborough this morning. Presumably I was the only Coffee Shop member catching the 0710 MIM: PAD» this morning as I felt a little bit of a lemon being the only person standing on the platform extension whilst everyone else was bunched down the other end! |

The little coffee shop at Charlbury station has today reopened under new ownership.
It's now called "Cafe de la Gare", which is a hint that it's now being run by Cafe de la Post from the neighbouring village of Chadlington. Open from 6am, though I apologise for not getting up this morning to try it out, nor venturing down now in the pouring rain...

Good to see it’s reopened. Hope it can survive as such businesses are now much more marginal with the reduction in commuters. Quite a few have yet to reopen.

Absolutely, yes.
I suspect the commuter/leisure mix will have changed - apparently they did a dry run on Saturday and were pleasantly surprised at the number of leisure passengers using it. It's notable that Charlbury has become the railhead for Soho Farmhouse, and you'll very often see taxis and minibuses picking up groups to take there - I wonder if they might be a lucrative potential market too.
