Apparently, the decision was made to stop them for noise control (link below.)

Not surprising - the same rule applies at Earl's Court on the District Line in London.

I believe announcements are not allowed between roughly 2100 and 0700 during the night for noise abatement reasons.

The old station master's house at Hanborough has recently (last 12 months or so) been converted into apartments and two new blocks of apartments have been added, so the developer has created the problem by building houses within 10m of the station platform.

It is another story at Charlbury where the announcements simply dont work all the time....only "keep back from the platform edge" announcements this morning, no announcement of arriving trains which this morning was important as the 0821 was 13min late and no longer showing on the CIS (Customer Information System). The 0833 was 14min late, again no announcements.

I'm pretty sure it does have CCTV (Closed Circuit Tele Vision) but it''l be dark when i'm heading some, so I can't check tonight. How soon do you need to know?

Just called APCOA (Car parking company used at GWR (Great Western Railway) - controlled stations in the area) and they say there is no CCTV (Closed Circuit Tele Vision).

That post deserves some sort of prize. I've only just stopped coughing after laughing out loud. I had to wipe the tears from my eyes.

No doubt I'm not alone in thinking your query was because you were actually planning on visiting that station and park there.

North Oxford Garage's Mini showroom and servicing centre are right next to the car park, so I think they will have one or two cameras keeping watch...

And I forgot the bus museum at the end of the car park, which I'm pretty sure has cameras.

Given that she has t travel in army clothes to use her warrant, I admire them for getting through her clothing that quick!

She's actually an officer which is why she's bricking it - apparently they weren't in a *position* to hide the reg of the car which is in her name so she's concerned that if its cctv'd they can trace the cart back to her which will get back to the army and she'll be done for behaviour unbecoming an officer (yeah we know they get up to worse but ...)

I can understand they were pleased to see each other but even so, when it comes to passion-killing locations, Hanborough station car park would be well up the top of my list...

I don't think you have to be in uniform to use a rail warrant. A friend's husband is in the forces and he certainly travels on warrants wearing civvies to go to a university course on a day release arrangement.
