They think an appeal against Judicial Review is possible, yes. This current appeal is against the Inspector....
Another appeal is potentially possible but probably unlikely unless it is a complicated case. I haven't looked into the grounds for the judicial review at all so can't comment on how likely it would be, but another appeal is not an automatic right.

There is a thread on the UK (United Kingdom) Rail forums that gives a lot of useful reference documents in it.

Just looked at that, but there's nothing new that hasn't been discussed in this thread already.  There are links to the Inspectors report and SofS's approval letter back on page 7, Industry Insider's post #99 etc.

I think in IT terminology you've caused a 'circular reference'Grin

Indeed, if you compare the posting dates/times, some of what's there has likely been picked up from here....

There seems t0 be some talk on some other forums that we could get a decision from the judge tommorow.

Not sure if it will actually happen but it might be worth keeping a listen out for.

But an email fcrom Graham Cross @ Chiltern....giving some detail on commencement of services. Confirms my earlier post that services commence only as far as Water Eaton in 2015, extending to Oxford in 2016.

Subject: Rail Upgrade Bicester to Oxford Route, High Court Verdict

 

Dear Stakeholder,

 

I am pleased to confirm that the High Court has today decided to reject the judicial challenge into the Secretary of State for Transport^s making of the Chiltern Railways Bicester to Oxford Transport & Works Act Order.  Therefore the statutory powers and permissions which we hold to upgrade the rail route remain intact.

 

Subject to Board and regulatory approvals, we now plan to conclude project and commercial agreements with Network Rail and the Department for Transport next month, whereupon construction works will begin.

 

It is our current expectation that Chiltern Railways train services will begin operating between London Marylebone and the new parkway station for Oxford at Water Eaton, via the upgraded station beside Bicester Village, from the summer of 2015.  Services will then extend through to Oxford in the Spring of 2016. 

 

For now the existing Bicester Town to Oxford Chiltern Railways service will continue unaffected.  We expect that the line will need to close for intrusive construction works in February 2014.   Twelve weeks before the start of the closure we will advise passengers of the duration of the closure and the alternative arrangements which we will provide. 

 

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in and contribution towards the project to upgrade rail services between Bicester and Oxford.   We are obviously very pleased with the Court^s decision.

All appears achievable, I must admit though that phasing the work so that Water Eaton is the terminus for about 9 months had passed me by here.  Perhaps ChrisB you mentioned it in another forum?   

There seems to have been an implied possibility, to do with de-conflicting with other work at Oxford - but I don't think it was ever explicitly stated.

Nevertheless it is very good news.

Chiltern now want to start earning from it ASAP, as they are well behind schedule and therefore budget.

Now in the Oxford Mail online
