it's 52 minutes by the long established route from Paddington to Oxford. In 2015, a short length of track near Bicester in Oxfordshire had been built, allowing a new Chiltern Railways route between London Marylebone and Oxford. Many trains make quite a few stops, and take longer. The Great Western Railway name originally belonged to the company associated with the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel at the start of the railway age. He built them with a 7 foot broad gauge, which of course had to be changed to standard gauge later. In 1923, the many rail companies were merged into just four, and the Great Western was the only one which kept its identity. Those companies lasted until 1948, when the railways were nationalised. The name was recently revived as the name of a train operating company franchise company under the 1994 privatisation arrangements. In fact, the company was known as First Great Western until very recently, as it is part of First Group. The logo you show belongs to Oxford City Council.
Indeed it is about 52 min. I mistook and commented 1 hr 30 min. Thanks Michael. Also, thanks for the history. Sad to see the people working in the Railways suffering in the hands of elites. Hope better days come for them!
Hi Dave, why are you upset? You used the words "negative", and "opinion". Have you read British history of colonialism and meddling in the internal affairs all over the world? Why would you think this is an "opinion"?
I'm with you Dave. I came here for a train travel video, not for a screed on the Evils of British imperialism. Dude enjoys the fruits of it while complaining about it. I'm out.
From 0:01 to 0:32, Just love the Sound of Air Pressure outside, when walking the Clean Platform before Boarding the Tain, especially UK and European Bullet Trains...... don't why may be some of my Old and Good RAM (Random Access Memories) residing Deep down in my Subconscious Mind gets Activated...😃
Did you change trains when you got to Reading? Or did you stay one the same train?
No changes, stayed on the same train. But I believe there are trains that take different stops.

How much is the ticket cost?
I am not sure what it costs now. I was there a long time ago. Perhaps you can check in google maps?
Bro, enough with the negative opinions, it ruins an otherwise good video.

Your imagination is very active. You will make a great traveller :)
HOW LONG DOES IT TO TAKE?
By train it should take around 1 hour. This is strictly travel time between 2 stations.
If you want to make political statements about ancient history then save it for a specialist post. Dont put it in any railway videos.
If you want to make your opinions about how a channel should be then save it for other channels. Dont put it in any railway video comments. Bye.
Bit a bit did it. Stick to trains chum it makes more sense than your commenting.@@Weekend-Traveller
if you dont like it here go to some where else russia north korea
Said the same to you folks 200 years back. But you decided to stay. So we are taking the same approach, fair eh?
