Alerts

The lifts are out of order between platforms 1 and 2 and platforms 3 and 4 at Banbury station. If it helps with your journey, Chiltern Railways can arrange a taxi for you between Leamington Spa and Bicester North where step-free access is available. Please speak to a member of staff or use the station help-point to arrange this. If you are able to give 24 hours notice via our assistance line on 03456 005 165, then this will ensure that the taxi is available without delay.
