Charlbury news from the Oxford Mail

Two Charlbury stories have recently appeared in the Oxford Mail group of papers.

Mother-of-four Sally Dodman-Edwards, 34, of Ticknell Lane, Charlbury, was treasurer of Charlbury Primary School Association when the offences occurred..."
  • Crackdown on fare cheats discusses a Charlbury-Oxford commuter who forged his own season ticket on his computer.

The newspaper's website is here.

More train changes on the way?

There are strong rumours that the 'Adelante' trains recently introduced on the Cotswold Line are to be reassigned to Scotland. This is expected to take place later this year, either in June or December.

There is as yet no word on what would replace them if this were to be the case, but the train operator FirstGroup has been acquiring extra High Speed Trains over the past two years.
