This question was answered on 15th May 2025
Chiltern Railways periodically adjust their timetable in response to passenger demand. From the 18th May, Chiltern will introduce three new Saturday services between Banbury and London Marylebone.
We are engaging closely with Chiltern's fleet renewal programme seeking to procure additional trains to increase capacity, whilst ensuring it delivers value for money.
