Chiltern Railways

[Tony]

You may have noticed from the main site I went to Oxford and Leamington Spa on Saturday.

07:03 5 car Voyager New Street to Oxford, probably one of the best Voyager journeys I have had lately. Finished photographing in Oxford, so came back for the 12:38 Cross Country to Manchester. 221129 running solo. I had positioned myself by the front door of the front carriage, about 30 people got off through that door, so I thought no problem, I get on and still no seats and several people standing, so god knows how wedged it was from Reading to Oxford. Journey was just as wedged from Oxford north, so I got of at Banbury and caught the Chiltern service 10 minutes behind up to Leamington. Lovely contrast of a 6 car 168 about 90% full, but a seat for everyone in a pleasant temperature.
