Customers travelling with Chiltern Railways are being reminded to check their journeys ahead of upcoming changes to the timetable on Sunday 18 May.
Three new services will be introduced on Saturdays with the aim of relieving the pressure on Chiltern’s heavily used Birmingham line trains.
The additional services include:
- A Banbury to Marylebone service which departs at 09.46
- A Banbury to Marylebone service which departs at 10.13
- A Marylebone to Banbury service which departs at 17.37
In addition, a small number of services have had their times changed by a few minutes with the aim of improving overall punctuality.
Tony Baxter, Operations Director at Chiltern Railways, said:
“I would like to remind customers to please check your journeys ahead of our upcoming timetable change this Sunday as some service times will change by a few minutes.
“We’re seeing busy Saturday services with more customers visiting the many great destinations on the Chiltern network. To offer more capacity for our customers, we are introducing three additional Saturday services between Banbury and London Marylebone which should ease some of the pressure on our trains to and from Birmingham.”
