- An excellent evening spent at Banbury on the Chiltern Mainline where see plenty of services from Chiltern Railways, Cross Country, Great Western Railway and freight from Freightliner, GBRF and Colas Rail.
Banbury station was first known as Banbury Bridge Street and was built in September 1850 by the London and Northwestern Railway. This was only achieve because the local land was sold to several investors who then granted the railway company the rights to build the station. This station had been planned to be apart of the Oxford to Rugby line, however that never took place due to the gauging issues that would've been faced when the trains reached rugby.
However the line from Banbury to Oxford still remained and now is part of the branch line that links the Chiltern Mainline to the Great Western Mainline. The line had started out as a single track but was doubled only 2 years later, this was due to the increasing popularity of the line, at that time it also meant that Banbury was getting an upgrade. It had received a new platform suited towards up and down running and an additional goods loop on the eastern side of the station, located where the train shed used to stand. The station used to have 2 bay platforms facing north and south but was cut into a through platform in 1903 for greater ease of running. The various goods loops were installed to deal with the traffic that would come off at the Banbury north junction from the Great Central Mainline, this is now a duel track heritage line in the Midlands. Banbury station was at one point to be considered the most vital station on the British network, and this was because nearly every single express passenger service running from the north of the country to the South would go through this section of the line including the: Aberdeen to Penzance express, South Wales, Ports to Ports Express as well as sleeper trains running for, Newcastle to Southampton via Manchester Piccadilly, during the early 1900's near all of the cross country services would pass through and stop at Banbury.

Last time I was at Banbury station.... was in the early 1980's when Banbury North, Banbury South & Aynho Jn signal boxes were in operation, complete with semaphore signalling.... I distinctly remember working numerous times as a youthful driver's assistant on the 18:27 freight from Eastleigh Marshalling Yard, which usually consisted mainly of old vacuum braked 4-wheel wagons, restricted to 35mph due to their 9ft or 10ft wheelbase going to Birmingham for scrap (keeping a sharp look out for hot boxes en-route).... hauled by an obligatory class 47... After having been relieved at Banbury... we waited hours for our back working....A Longport to Fawley empty air-braked train of 100t gas tankers, also hauled by a class 47.... restricted to 60mph back to Eastleigh.... that was a day's (or should I say night's) work... I can also remember on one particular trip two US fighter aircraft from a nearby airbase carrying out a simulated attack on the train... which frightened the sh1t out of me & the driver... I retired as a driver after 40 years service... in 2018...P.S. Banbury station doesn't look much different now to what it looked like in the 1980's.... an old 08 shunter rejoicing in the name "Cherwell" used to live semi-permanently in the bay platform... which looks like it has been turned over to pasture....
"And with any luck some freight aswell" my favorite line
Lets see what else shall turn up
Brilliant stn , massive renovations a while ago. Lots of variety. 🚂🚃🚈🚄🚆🚅🚝🚊🛤️
Great video! I love the Chiltern Line. It's one of my favourite routes. Beautiful line, stations and the 168s, 165s and 68s are all fantastic. Awesome. :)
Enjoyed this, very well produced. Gotta love those 68's! Liked and subscribed :)
Totally agree about the class 68's..they are magnificent love em
Another great video
Great video
Before the 168 gets a touch up I think Banbury station could do with one first!
Brilliant Rush hour video, I really enjoyed this :)
Fantastic video mate,beautiful photography, and amusing dialogue.
17:29 should go to hinksey very good bridge and a view over the yard
The 68s sounds great but i think the class 70s can give them a run for the best sound . Great Film once again :)
Another great video as always
I like the sound of the class 68 and the class 70
Another fantastic video. Compulsive viewing. Appreciate your time in making and posting these videos. Regards to the family

CrossCountry has free reign on Britain’s Rail Network, as the trains use any line going to and from Aberdeen, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset.
GWR Is A Branch Line For Banbury

Good video buddy from Alan Shelley as always

What happened to you filming at Eastleigh and Southampton Central
What do you think about the British railways thing takeing over the name of the private operators.?
And whatever happened to Anne being the recored voice annousments lol
I am really not keen on the station itself though. Both Oxford and Banbury station needs some renovation I think.
P.S: For some reason, I love Celia and Phil to be much better than Anne... Love it!
My 1st job was at Banbury's station when I was 16, I am 73 this year and the station had not changed apart from the car park.
@@jimcarpenter5775 Woah. That is kinda crazy but I do think Oxford will get renovated soon due to East-West Rail but dunno when exactly...
@@georgedowns4034 Did you know that at one time Banbury had two stations side by side. The small one was closed down before I was born but part of the line was use as a feeder to Banbury livestock market. As a kid I use to walk this old line out to King Sutton.
Great video mate. Great to see 68010 'Oxford flyer' and of course is your stalker and she sound powerful and very scary when she depart, a Freightliner 70 which is clagging nicely (don't you mean Southampton M.C.T.) and the Colas Rail 66 (I think is your first time filming a Colas 66). great to join chazthomotrains again, he's a good guy I can't explain 👍.
Can you trains at Water Orton on the XCR pls
Love this video, banbury is my local station, but its been a while since I have been
Banbury always makes me cross
Why? I'd love to know 😀
Gwr should really get turbostars
Nice
Do u get bored of the chillton railway places
I've noticed the man that did platform 3 has stopped odd
Love a class 66
I thought u was going to do Eastleigh
*eastleigh* and that’s what I thought as well
Wow, gotta love Banbury. Amazing variety of freight, prototype class 168/0 and the best of the class 68.
On your opinion, would you say that for freight, The Chiltern Mainline is just as popular for freight as Great Eastern Mainline?
Class 68 is great, i use it in TF2. I hope it will be available in TSW2 soon.
They really need to electrify that line..
I wanna ask when transport fever 2 Transport in the tropics coming back
It's my local you see
It's 6/14 in Hong Kong right now
Honestly I don't know why Chiltern haven't really invested in any new trains besides the what 3 68-82 sets they have, the 168s, as seen in this video, look old, worn and well on their way to going out of service, idk maybe if/when Transpennine eventually finish upgrading their fleet and getting rid of the 185s Chiltern should jump on the chance to get those and run them as 6 car sets
Ahah funny I was literally on 165 119 today
Amazing
now you know where the train ended up.
@@OllieMJT27 yes it was on the Basingstoke line
Just asking
