So juat out of curiosity what is up with the rail line between Leamington Spa and Banbury? Its been closed somewhere for the whole weekend seems like nearly every weekend in the last 6 months. (I live near Oxford, my girlfriend is in Loughborough, I work full time, so I do this route a lot!)

OwlFancier posted:I dunno, I heard they'd had another major landslip recently but I dunno whether it took out part of the line or not. I would guess they must have though because the east coast trains weren't any busier. How recent? I've been through there more recently than the 1st (couple of weeks ago I think) and it was fine between Birmingham and Oxford at least (after having the area between Leamington and Oxford shut like every weekend for months last year).

Connex should have paid attention. It's not FGW any more, it's GWR and it's 'our railway'  (You know what was actually our railway, guys? British Rail)

Good. I noticed that when they rebranded to GWR and assumed it was a 'please don't renationalise us' campaign just in case Labour does get in at the next election.
