| John Dora Fri 5 Feb | Other weekday train 15.19 Oxford to Moreton-i-m Cancelled |
| Ian L Mon 1 Feb | 15.51 Paddington/16.49 Oxford-Charlbury 3 car turbo (class 166) rather than the booked 8 car HST, very crowded |
| John Dora Thu 28 Jan | 06.37 Charlbury-Paddington: 57 minutes' delay Problems with the set meant it left Great Malvern 45 or so late then further delays meant it travelled in the path for the 7.26 ex CBY. Missed out its Didcot stop as well. |
| John Dora Thu 28 Jan | 07.29 Charlbury-Paddington Cancelled, although the 6.34 ran in its timetable 'path' more or less - it left Oxford about 3 mins before the7.26 would have done, and arrived about 5 later than the 7.26 into Paddington. |
| Derek Collett Thu 28 Jan | 15.51 Paddington/16.49 Oxford-Charlbury Massively overcrowded 3-car Turbo instead of scheduled HST. Who will rid me of this Turbo-lent fleet?! |
| Iain Macbriar Wed 27 Jan | 08.33 Charlbury-Paddington: 9 minutes' delay 2 late at Charlbury. On time at Oxford but then we stopped twice on the approach to Reading. 9 late there. |
| Iain Macbriar Wed 27 Jan | 15.51 Paddington/16.49 Oxford-Charlbury: 1 minutes' delay 3 late away from Reading and from Oxford, but only 1 late at Charlbury. And it was an HST. |
| Derek Collett Sun 24 Jan | Any Sunday train 17.36 DID to CBY. Absymally overcrowded 3-car Turbo (should have been an HST). Among my fellow passengers I spotted Ben Kingsley. Sir Ben Kingsley! I ask you FGW, is this any way to treat a knight of the realm, Oscar-winner and one of the finest actors of his generation, star of Gandhi and Sexy Beast? Grown men have wept for less than that. FGW, you should hang your sorry heads in shame! |
| Iain Macbriar Tue 19 Jan | 08.33 Charlbury-Paddington: 24 minutes' delay 16 minutes late at Oxford - knock-on effects of single line delays from some earlier signalling problems west of Worcester apparently. Then we sat outside Oxford waiting for the platform. 25 late at Oxford, 24 late at Reading. |
| Iain Macbriar Tue 19 Jan | 17.21 Paddington/18.16 Oxford-Charlbury: 5 minutes' delay 6 late at Oxford. 5 late at Charlbury. |
| William Crossley Wed 13 Jan | Other weekday train 09.52 to London (the 9.29 from Moreton-in-Marsh). By way of advance warning (it's now just after 8.15am) this train will not run today. |
| dave wells Wed 13 Jan | 06.30 Paddington/08.01 Oxford-Charlbury 10 mins late so 0645 at Charlbury and 0811 at Paddington |
| dave wells Tue 12 Jan | 06.30 Paddington/08.01 Oxford-Charlbury After coping very well with the recent wintry weather the service had signal problems at Didcot this morning - 0835 at Paddington |
| Derek Collett Tue 5 Jan | Other weekday train: 105 minutes' delay 11.05 CBY to PAD - 105 minutes late arriving at Oxford! No apology/explanation; also, no heat at all in the Turbo carriage I was travelling in. |
| dave wells Tue 5 Jan | 06.30 Paddington/08.01 Oxford-Charlbury 0642 at Charlbury and 0805 at Paddington |
| dave wells Mon 4 Jan | 06.10 Charlbury-Paddington 0754 at Paddington - signal problems near Maidenhead so slow running from Reading to London |
| Derek Collett Sun 27 Dec | Any Sunday train: 7 minutes' delay 12.25 CBY to LPD: possibly the most jam-packed Turbo I have ever had the misfortune to travel on. Crammed to bursting with returning Christmas holidaymakers, all with vast amounts of luggage. Some of the vestibules were almost completely blocked with trolley cases, making it virtually impossible to get on or off the train, and presumably contravening health and safety legislation into the bargain. A very uncomfortable journey between Charlbury and Oxford (and not much better further down the line). Lots of occasional travellers who will probably never use the train again. As there were big football and rugby matches taking place as well, why was an HST not deployed for this extremely busy service? |
| Iain Macbriar Fri 18 Dec | Other weekday train: 17 minutes' delay 13:21 Paddington / 14:19 from Oxford. |
| dave wells Fri 18 Dec | 07.29 Charlbury-Paddington 0922 at Paddington after slow running around Maidenhead due to broken down train in front |
| Iain Macbriar Wed 16 Dec | Other weekday train: 17 minutes' delay 15:05 Charlbury - Paddington |
| Susie Finch Wed 16 Dec | 07.29 Charlbury-Paddington Cancelled - broken down train |
| Ian L Tue 15 Dec | 08.33 Charlbury-Paddington: 10 minutes' delay Delayed 10min and missing coach C due to train failure, very overcrowded (more than normal) |
| John D Mon 14 Dec | 06.10 Charlbury-Paddington Cancelled - first Monday of the new timetable |
| Susie Finch Mon 14 Dec | 07.29 Charlbury-Paddington: 20 minutes' delay This was 20 minutes late into Charlbury and Oxford. Supposedly signals at Evesham |
| Ian L Mon 14 Dec | 08.33 Charlbury-Paddington: 20 minutes' delay Delayed 20min |
