Robert Welcomes Improvements at Hanborough Station

Work to extend platforms at stations along the Cotswold Line has been progressing in recent weeks.  Most platforms on the Cotswold Line will be lengthened to accommodate seven of the 26-metre-long coaches. This will allow doors to be opened on six coaches of nine-car and 10-car IET formations when they call at the station in both directions.

Commenting on the work at Hanborough Station, Robert said: "It's great to see improvements at Hanborough coming along. Extending the platform is an important step in upgrading the station and improving the experience of passengers - ensuring we need not sprint down the train to be on the correct carriage when the doors open.

"We now need to push on and achieve the full re-doubling of the line, with more integrated bus services and cycle links, to ensure Hanborough can be West Oxfordshire's public transport hub."

Better Roads, Trains & Buses

Our community needs a better transport system, from trains and buses to roads and cycling.  Living in Bladon, I know first-hand that that congestion on the A40 is a daily issue for many of us, and we need reliable public transport to provide a realistic alternative.

Making West Oxfordshire's Railways Fit for the Future

People across West Oxfordshire rely on our railways to get to work and to visit family and friends.  With heavy congestion on our main roads, it is essential that we have railways that are fit for the future and a transport system that keeps us moving.
