Several residents have raised with me the benefits of a station on the East West Rail line at the Claydons where the Aylesbury branch to the south meets the main East West line from Oxford to Bedford.
It would serve the Claydons and all the villages around, who would once again have a train service to Oxford, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Bicester and Aylesbury (from where trains could continue to London and even eventually Heathrow Airport).
It would be at the mid point of the line between Bicester and Winslow stations so would be a logical stopping point.
Travellers between Aylesbury and Oxford (where there are no direct trains) would have their journeys shortened significantly. Under current proposals they would have to continue to Winslow before they could change to the southbound or westbound line. A Claydon Junction station would save many unnecessary miles and minutes of travel. Trains from Aylesbury to Bletchley would be travelling very slowly at this point on the chord line between the two tracks and a stop would add very little to the journey time.
Please get in touch with me to share your thoughts on a new Claydon Junction station on the East West Line.
